The Autonomous Region is a dynamic San Francisco-based urban rock band presenting original music reflective of the unique Bay Area experience that is assimilated through their music and lyrics. Vocalist and songwriter Caroline Cabading leads an eclectic blend of musicians. Veterans of the music wars Chet Canlas (guitar), Tyrone Davis (drums), Phil Ergina (bass) and Ron Quesada (guitar) back the colorful and enigmatic Cabading while performing a high-test blend of alternative rock peppered with jazz and fused with many other genres to create their own unique sound that remains difficult to define and impossible to put in a box. The band also releases their music on their own indie label Malaya Records.

With their recent release Forbidden City the eclectic quintet takes the best of both worlds of politics and music and brings forth a melting pot of recordings to their listeners. Just like their home city San Francisco, The Autonomous Region is many things rolled into one tightly wrapped package. They are the offspring of the city and its raw-edged urban scene and their songs reflect that energy and atmosphere with a mixture of Alternative Rock, Metal, Punk, and Jazz that appeals to a huge cross section of music lovers.

One moment lead singer Caroline Cabading sounds like an angry Patti Smith in full bloom on stage at CBGB’s in the 70’s and in the next instance a jazz crooner whispering subtleties to her lover. To their credit they keep it interesting and you never know what the next track has in store.

Their messages are heartfelt and powerful getting behind their lyrics and melodies that carry a strong commitment to social conscience and political empowerment that make every track a well thought out journey for each individual listener to interpret.

The “attitude” of Autonomous Region is for real and it always serves as a spearhead to great music. These core competencies as musicians and realists are what drive them to create songs worth hearing and pondering while endearing them to an ever growing legion of fans eager to support their music and cause.
