Eraserheads was formed in 1989 by four students from the University of the Philippines taking its name after the David Lynch movie Eraserhead. The group performed regularly at campus gigs and at Club Dredd on Timog Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila, a now-defunct club popular in the '90s which served as a breeding ground for many Filipino Alternative Rock acts. The group submitted a demo to RJFM, but were immediately turned down as their music did not fit the classic pop-rock format of the station. Fortunately, BMG Records-Pilipinas snatched them up and released their debut affort "ultraelectromagneticpop" under their newly formed "Musiko" label. Their debut album was comprised mainly of ska-tinged pop hooks layed down on a traditional guitar-bass-drums foundation.

sa wakas ay nakita ko na ang aking hinahanap
sa wakas ay nakuha ko na ang aking hinahangad
kay tagal ko ng naghintay at nagsunog ng kilay
ngayon ay masasabi ko na ang matamis na tagumpay
sa wakas ay nabihag ko na ang aking minamahal
sa wakas ay natapos ko na ang aking sinimulan
kay tagal ko ng nagtiyaga
wala namang nilaga
sa wakas ay kaya ko nang bumangon sa umaga
o bakit ba ako pinahihirapan ng husto
ang dami-daming kumokontra
sa bawat kilos ko
nasan ns ba kayo
tignan n'yo ako
hindi n'yo inakala na ako ay mananalo
pero salamat na rin sa inyo
sa wakas ahhh (4x)
