Cardinal Republic (band)

Cardinal Republic were a Filipino band from Santa Maria, Bulacan. The band consisted of John Santel (guitar, lead vocals), Athena Seda (keyboards, secondary vocals), Enzo Arao (bass guitar), and Rumesh Patel (drums).
== Formation and Debut (2016–2017) ==
The band was formed at the West Bridge Academy in Sta. Maria in September 2016 by John Santel, Athena Seda, and Daphne Leones, all aged 10. With the help of ICT teacher Ray Dantes, they set up shop at the computer lab of West Bridge, where they recorded and produced their self–titled album in December of that year. Santel and Seda played together on their guitar and keyboard respectively, while Leones added in the drums and bass on GarageBand, giving the record an airy sound from the mix of the clear rhythm section with the raw and echoey vocals and instrumentation.
