Marcus Antonius Corpuz Adoro (born December 31, 1971) is a Filipino
musician who was the lead guitarist of the Eraserheads, a Filipino
alternative rock band in the 1990s. He is also known by the stage name
or band name Markus Highway.During his days as lead guitarist for the
Eraserheads, Adoro only had a few contributions when it came to
songwriting. He would compose one song per album, which were usually
album fillers, like "Punk Zappa" in the album, Circus, and
"Southsuperhiway" in the album, Natin99. The most contributions he had
ever given to the band was in the album Carbon Stereoxide, in which he
wrote the songs "Pula", "Wala", and "Escalator Alligator".Adoro's
style of lead guitar was a very significant piece to the Eraserheads'
sound, and to a greater extent, using takamine, Gibson and Yamaha the
sound that came to define Pinoy alternative rock. His minimalist
approach contrasted with the "flashier" style of most local guitarists
of the time. Instead of long, epic solos, Adoro preferred "pretty
little ditties" that often complement the tone of the song. His "less
is more" method resembles that of many guitarists from Manila's '80s
underground punk scene, particularly Bobby Balingit (The Wuds) and
Resty Cornejo (Identity Crisis). During the band's later years, Adoro
began to acquire a fascination with electric guitar noises and
environmental sounds which he would incorporate to his style as the
band's music progressed and became more experimental.
