Tom's Story is an indie instrumental rock trio based in Manila, Philippines. The band is composed of Tom Naval on bass, Gabba Santiago on guitars, and Christer "Degs" de Guia on drums.

The band independently released its self-titled album in 2016, and is currently managed by A Spur of the Moment Project, an independent record label.

History

The band started in 2010 during their senior years in high school (and at that time, the trio were friends since 2007), due to their musical influences such as Taking Back Sunday and Circa Survive. Although they were never played until in 2011, the trio started their first gig by playing Taking Back Sunday covers at a bar in Parañaque City. Originally intended to be punk rock, the band switched to post-rock and math rock but keeping their instrumental rock genre as the main focus.[1][2]

In 2012, the band opened for Malaysian indie act Silent Scenery’s Manila tour in B-Side, Makati City. A year later, they released two tracks via a split EP with two other local bands, Legarda and Monochrome. In 2015, they played their first overseas gig in San Francisco, California.

In 2016, their self-titled debut album was independently-released, with "Anchors" as their first original single, followed by two-part sequels "Dream" and "Catcher".[3] On March 4, 2017, the band performed at Wanderland Music and Arts Festival in Filinvest Alabang.[2]
