General Luna is an all-female rock band in the Philippines. The group is composed of Nicole Asensio (lead vocalist), Alex Montemayor (bassist), Bea Lao (drummer), Audry Dionisio (rhythm guitarist) and Caren Mangaran (lead guitarist).
When the group was asked the reason why do they call their band as General Luna? Nicole (the lead vocalist) said, "It has nothing to do with General Antonio Luna." It is just a combination of the two words: General (a masculine), and Luna (a feminine). There's a balance of the 2 concepts. They describe their music as a combination of 2 different concepts. Like their music single, "Red Heaven", - a mixture of loud guitar riffs and catchy melodic verses, that expresses the stomach-churning experience of a nightmare. General Luna's self-title debut album is attributed to the serious hardwork of various top artists and songwriters:
Steve Badiola (Typecast frontman) - contributed for General Luna's first single, "Red Heaven"
Monty Macalino (Mayonnaise vocalist and guitarist) - for the 2nd single, "Nandito"
Ebe Dancel (songwriter from Sugarfree) - he wrote the song, "Maria"
Pakoy Fletchero (Typecast guitarist) - produced "Walang Bintana" and offered very unique drum parts to the masterpiece
Japs Sergio (Rivermaya bassist) - helped produced 2 tracks of the album, "Dala ng Ulan" and "Pagmulat", both have socio-political theme.

Aligned your eyes
To the shadow of the night
In the quiet you will find
all the world is running wild
So skim the streets
with the blisters on your feet
It’s a far and fast escape
show me where’s your safe retreat
I’ll follow with all my soul
even though my eyes are closed
(reaching out) reaching out on
one long way , nothing’s what it seems
This is just a dream
we wont remember
so, if we never wake
then all the better
Making drunken
dances of the tears
as the daylights disappears
falling sweetly, getting sleepy
this dream is just a dream
Don’t you drift too far
forgetting who you are
I’ll follow with all my soul
even though my eyes are closed
(reaching out) reaching out on
one long way , nothing’s what it seems
This is just a dream
we wont remember
so, if we never wake
then all the better
Notice how the light changed
do you recognize
this aint the same city
that was born before your eyes
Are you falling deeper
hearin, echos of laughter
chasing you down
thinking of going get out, oh
This is just a dream
we wont remember
so, if we never wake
then all the better
