When the hardcore punk band Dead Ends ended their 4-year hiatus, he became the one of the band's guitarists in 1994, sharing guitar chores with the band's leader and founder Al Dimalanta, thus making Dead Ends a four-piece band.
Certain cats (whom he calls "tree-dwelling cats") behave better when they have access to above-ground perches, and he often instructs owners of such cats to install an above-the-floor walkway with no dead ends, in order to provide these cats with the psychological comfort of escape routes.
When Dead Ends disbanded following Jay's death in 1996, Al went into a four-year musical hiatus and focused on his marketing communications work and his stint at the academe in the University of Santo Tomas.
During those four years, Al tried putting up a band with Lourd de Veyra, who was a member of Dead Ends in the 1990s (only for the band’s fourth album, Mamatay sa Ingay).
