Dicta License is a Filipino rock band formed in December 1999, whose music is a fusion of rock, rap, and grunge.[citation needed] The band consists of Pochoy Labog on vocals, Bryan Makasiar on drums, Kelley Mangahas on bass, and Boogie Romero on guitar.
The band's name literally translates as "License to Speak", which can be aptly associated with the philosophical cum socio-political tone evident in their songs. The band's influences include Rage Against the Machine, Lauryn Hill, the Roots, Public Enemy, Incubus among many others, with RATM being their strongest influence of all.
