Boyband GAT skills

Boy bands will always be a thing in pop. From The Beatles in the early '60s (it can be argued that they were the first), to '80s New Edition, to the Backstreet Boys and their peers in the '90s, to the dominance of K-pop in the early aughts and everyone else in between, boy band music's influence lingers to this day. That's why it's always good to check the new kids on the block (pun intended). And one group worth checking out is the young lads of GAT, which includes Ethan David, Derrick Ong, Charles Law, Hans Paronda, and Michael Keith.

G.A.T. is short for 'Gawang Atin 'to,' which sums up at the surface what this quintet is all about, as they're all about pushing Pinoy pop and then some, forward. Launched just recently, GAT's first moves are the time-tested tradition of doing covers, and their handlers chose a few tasty ones. There's a version of South Border's "Rainbow" which GAT did a decent job of. Check those falsettos in the choruses to know that GAT ain't just for show, there's some pro-level singing in there, and they aced it beautifully.
