They got the name Eraserheads from the movie Eraserhead.

From there they started gigs around their campus in UP Diliman and around Manila. After some time the band decided to write their own songs because they’re not good in covering other band’s songs. Not long in 1991 their songs was heard by BMG records Philippines and after a year they released their first album entitled “Ultraelecrtomagneticpop!”, with the hit single “Pare ko” which went to the top of the charts.
