Title: "Overdrive"
Artist: Eraserheads
Best for: A road trip with your old high school buddies
This Eraserheads classic is a must for your road trip playlist. Aside from that old Pinoy rock sound we all miss, "Overdrive" is a pretty nostalgic track. Grab your best friends and reminisce about the days when you were young and broke, but happy.
Title: "Sunburn"
Artist: Sandwich
Best for: A long drive to the beach
With this heat, who wouldn't want to be on the beach? "Sunburn" is the go-to anthem of those who just want to escape the city, the work, and the horrendous traffic. The kick-ass rock sound is also a mood-booster that will get you more psyched to leave town.
Title: "Swimming Beach"
Artist: Parokya ni Edgar
Best for: A very early morning drive out of town
If you prefer a more relaxed tune for that really early drive, play this Parokya ni Edgar song. “Swimming Beach” is more soothing but just as pleasing to the ears. We agree with the boys of Parokya when they say, "Kalimutan muna natin ang trabaho. Masisira na ang ating ulo."
Title: "All the Good Things"
Artist: Up Dharma Down
Best for: Taking over unexplored towns
The feel-good UDD track is great motivation to conquer the unfamiliar towns you'll find yourself in this summer. Let UDD keep you company as you hit the road to see all the good things. Don't worry about getting lost; it makes the journey all the more exciting.
Title: "Pretty Car"

Title: "First of Summer"
Artist: Urbandub
Best for: A midnight escape with your "Summer"
Urbandub may have disbanded, but we'll always remember them for their great contribution to the local music scene.

If you ever find yourself on a spontaneous road trip with your favorite person, you might want to play this one.

Driving to Zambales, La Union, or Baler anytime soon? You need to add this rock-reggae track to your playlist. "Better Days" combines irresistible reggae beats with spot-on guitar riffs, and features positive lyrics that are sure to bring you nothing but good vibes.
Title: "One Look"
