The band was formed in March of 1984, A pioneer of the mid 80's underground Punk scene...early stint includes gigs from the legendary KATRINAS PUB & ROCKOLA CLUB in Malate, Manila.
- Recorded their first compilation & solo album under TWISTED RED CROSS ( Philippines first ever underground independent record label ) ...gained international recognition from MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL in the early 1990's and established their reputation in the global punk rock community by releasing collaborative compilation vinyl albums in EUROPE (Germany, Portugal, etc) including ASIA & AMERICA respectively throughout the mid 80's & early 90's.
LIFE AFTER TWISTED RED CROSS AND THE BEGINNING OF RMD RECORDS & PRODUCTION
When their label TWISTED RED CROSS folded, the band decided to put up their own record label RARE MUSIC DISTRIBUTOR (RMD Records- a brainchild of Charlie Bong Espiritu) and ROTTEN RULES INC. (RRI Records – which handled Foreign distribution of its releases around the globe, manage by Senor Rotten ). In the beginning the label was created only to handle PHIL.VIOLATORS album releases, but soon after it also became an important part of the whole –pinoy underground/alternative music scene in the early 1990’s by subsequently releasing various compilation album projects featuring up and coming new Bands in the scene.
Today, RMD continues to be a vehicle for punk & other alternative independent bands AS A PRODUCTION OUTFIT.. they organize Concerts, Club Gigs, & regular Bar Tours under its new monicker RARE MUSIC PRODUCTIONS.
In the 9o’s, the bands music was progressing and was no longer limited to Punk & Hardcore. They focused on doing their original compositions in TAGALOG, and was developing a new melodic ‘power pop-post punk ‘sound. PHIL.VIOLATORS music was evolving. Not long after, Major Record Companies began to took notice.
The band’s humongous hit ‘SIKAT NA SI PEDRO’ finally catapulted PHIL.VIOLATORS into the mainstream.And by the mid- 1990’s They manage to achieved Major Label success w/o compromising their underground roots by continuing to produce socially relevant hit songs like ‘IPAKO SA KRUS’, HOY! HOY! HOY!’,’BATANG RILES’ ‘DAWNCELIA’,FRAME-UP,’KILOS, BALANSE, SANDALI, REBELDE among others…and for the first time PHIL.VIOLATORS music was being embraced by everyone! They no longer belong to their hardcore PUNK followers exclusively, but to mainstream rock music fans all over the country as well. Their music was now being played widely on Radio stations that wouldnt touch them 5 yrs ago.,They appeared on Television constantly and were being printed in various local music magazines ...They began to tour the country along with their crew(THE ALCOHOLIC ROAD CREW & SPEED CREW - w/c consist of longtime friends & RMD Staff .) from Batangas to Bulacan, Marinduque and Davao the demand for their appearance grew intensively thru the mid 90's...Their song ‘LAHAT SA TROPA’(another PHILVIO mega-hit!) was even featured in a local pinoy cult movie entitled ‘THE ROLLER BOYS’. They were breaking new barriers and was being hailed as heroes of the underground when they finally conquered and played ARANETA COLLISEUM.(one of the most prestigous venue in the Philippines) The first Punk band ever to do so. PHILIPPINE VIOLATORS the most notorious underground band in the land, challenged the musical status quo and WON
Today, the band continues to hold ground in the local alternative club circuit and rock concert gatherings. After 25 years, they are now considered LEGENDS OF PINOY PUNK ROCK, and HAILED AS one of the most important pioneers OF THE UNDERGROUND independent music scene IN THE country.
They are currently celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year (1984-2009) with a new line-up and a possible new album by 2010. PHILVIO today is consist of

1984 - 2011 ( WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT WE'D LAST THIS LONG?...) SENOR ROTTEN'S LAMENT ON HIS SISSY BAND...

'Who would have thought we'd last this long?'
(by SENOR ROTTEN)
... It was just an excuse to get drunk & wasted.
... It gave us license to 'rebel'.. ( against what?)., as the cliche goes our answer was 'WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?"... (BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS WE WERE MUCH DEEPER THAN THAT!)(unlike kids of today who aint got a clue what the fuck their so called 'scene' is about.,"NAKITA NAMIN SA MTV AT NARINIG SA N.U.107 PUNK DAW YUN EH!".... (MGA ULOL! ISA LANG ANG RADIO STATION NA SINAMBA NI SENOR ROTTEN..( SAGOT: 'DZRJam ANG BATO NG MAYNILA')at sa 41 Years ko sa mundong ito, TATLONG DJ (as in 3!) LANG ANG IGINAGALANG KO AT SASALUDUHAN SAAN MAN AKO MAKARATING! (SAGOT : 1.'HOWLIN DAVE',... 2. BOB MAGOO,.... 3. THE DOCTOR )ILALABAN KO YAN NG UPAKAN MEN!..Di gaya ng mga SO CALLED'RockJocks'(Daw) kuno ng NU 107, PWE! (KUNG DI PA KAYO PINASYALAN NI MAGOO AT HOWLIN DAVE HINDI PA KAYO MAGKAKAROON NG 'INTEGRITY'.) MGA BADING!!!!!! TANGNA NYO MGA SOSYAL! SALAMAT AT TUMIKLOP NA ANG STATION . WALA NG NU 107. NGAYON TIGNAN NATIN KUNG SINO ANG TUNAY NA 'RAKISTA', SAAN KYA PUPULUTIN ANG MGA FOLLOWERS NYO? ( SAGOT : JUSTIN BEIBER )... Si Senor Rotten? Bwakang ina TUMIKLOP NA ANG DZRJ, INIYAKAN NA NYA ANG '99ROCK,' NAWALA ANG L.A.105.9, AT DI RIN NAGTAGAL ANG 'ROCK990'
PERO DI PARIN SYA NAKIKINIG NG MTV,.. (SAGOT: Gumawa sya ng sarili nyang RADYO = ANG PSYCHOTIC RADIO SHOW! AT HINDI ITO TITIKLOP KAHIT KELAN! BAKIT? KASI SYA ANG BOSS DITO! )
..PERO TEKA Ano na nga ba yung topic?.. ("WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT PHIL.VIOLATORS WOULD LAST THIS LONG" )..SAGOT : " SENOR ROTTEN ".. SYA LANG ANG NAKAKAALAM (BAKIT?) Kasi siya si JESUS... ang panginoon nyong lahat! bwahahahahaha! (JOKE LANG LOLA BICOL! NANA'ITA! AT SA MGA RELIGOUS KONG RELATBS! PEACE men. )
