We Describe our song as power pop with a dash of energetic punk rock.
Our lyrics our based on our bitter and sweet experiences how we have conquered all our problems in our lives.
We started as a band in Youth for Christ back in 2004 with Jay, Just, Arbe, Mac and Teng which turned out to be a band that has an ambition of playing in bars, parties, events and other gigs. After several months, teng has to leave for his other band(Cobalt Ride) in LSM. So the band has to find a replacement for teng so they got Pao, and they also got a new drummer (Bum). Apparently after playing several gigs, the band decided to record a Demo CD as an output and a demo for gigs at the same time, suddenly Bum decided to focus on his band “Callalily”. And Pao got his colleague Alex and replaced Bum.Few months later, Paolo had to leave due to his personal problems so myks had to replace him for the meantime. Justin decided to leave the band together with Paolo because of his thesis, so Alex's older brother, Patrick joined BitterSweet to replace Justin. However, Myks was replaced by AJ as a sessionist because Myks had to finish some problems of her own. AJ then left his old band "Half Way" to join BitterSweet. After a few months, Justin returned to BitterSweet and now the band is currently composing and arranging new songs to add up to their play list in their gigs. Also, due to some school problems Allen replaced Alex on drums. Bittersweet is still playing with Alden "Bum" Acosta on drums in some gigs. Just recently, Alden played with the band in Mayrics, Espana, Manila (March 6,2007).
Band Influences – Greenday, NewFoundGlory, Hit the Lights, All Time Low.
