Dicta License is a Filipino band formed December of 1999, whose music is a fusion of rock, rap, and grunge. This all-Atenean band consists of Pochoy Labog on vocals, Bryan Makasiar on drums, Kelley Mangahas on bass, and Boogie Romero on guitars (the last two, Kel and Boogie, are also part of another band, Kjwan.)

The name "Dicta License" literally translates as "License to Speak," which can be aptly associated with the philosophical/socio-political tone evident in their songs. The band's influences include Rage Against the Machine, Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Public Enemy, Incubus, and many others, RATM being their strongest influence of all.
