Junior Kilat is a Filipino reggae, ska and dub band based in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. The name is taken from the 70’s Cebu band Leon Kilat, which the latter group claims, was first to sing about “Agta”. They are a popular reggae band in Manila, winning a “Song Of The Year Award” in NU-107’s Rock Awards for Ako Si M16, their first single from the album party pipol ur on dub tv.[citation needed]

The group’s first release was on the 2004 album Island Riddims which featured two of their tracks: K-Fyne and Original Sigbin. Both were performed live at The Baseline in Cebu City. Their second appearance was in the Island Krismas album with their track Kling Klang.

Their first album, party pipol ur on dub tv, was released in 2005. Some of the tracks in this album were studio-recorded, others performed live at Idiot Board, also in Cebu City.

Their second album was entitled Buwad Suka Sili and contains five tracks, two music videos and The Making of Ako Si M16 video. The video of K-Fyne is also included in the album. The lineup of Junior Kilat changed for this album. Jad Dapat, formerly the group’s guitarist, left the band and Arcie Ybañez took over his duties.

Currently, they have their latest album, Enrique De Malacca. The carrier single of the said album is “1-2-3”.
