Tubero was formed in 2008 by a group of co-workers in
Quezon City. The project started as a casual studio experiment after one member recorded shouted vocals during a
rehearsal session for another band. The recording circulated online and received attention, leading the group to continue the project as a formal band. Over time, the band developed a style combining grindcore with
Filipino humor and
slang, a sound they later referred to as "Kupal Metal". In 2019, Tubero signed with the independent label
Tower of Doom and joined its roster of heavy and extreme acts. After signing, the band put their music on streaming platforms and appeared on several radio shows. They also recorded live sessions, including a performance on Tower Radio. Their releases include the debut album
Kupal Destroyer was released in 2018 and several short tracks, including "Guard Tang Ina Mo" (2018), "Kapitbahay" (2020; "Neighbor"), "Wala Na Akong Pera" (2021; "I Have No Money Left"), and the extremely brief track "Pweh!" (2021), which lasts only three seconds. The band released a romantic and emotionally charged song titled "Cubao", released on March 8, 2021, through Tower of Doom. Tubero participated in
Lola Amour's Misbehave Mini Tour, which began on June 6, 2025, alongside artists such as Jan Roberts,
Arthur Miguel,
Hale, and
The Koolpals. The band joined the tour on June 19, shared the stage with Lola Amour and comedy group The Koolpals at Mow's Bar in Quezon City, an unusual combination for a single lineup. The band also gained popularity after appearing in the 2025 film
Sampung Utos Kay Josh, in which the group performed "Guard Tang Ina Mo" in front of Satanas (played by
Pepe Herrera). == Members ==
