IDLEPITCH invites listeners to slow down with funky new single “Sige Lang”

After their vital reintroduction with Manila Sound-inflected “Salamangka,” Naga-based band IDLEPITCH keeps the momentum going with “Sige Lang,” a buoyant new single released independently via Underdog Music Asia.

Mt. Lewis Time Travels Back to the 90s in playful new song, “Kung Ayaw Mo”

Smooth rock four-piece band hailing from Angeles, Pampanga, Mt. Lewis takes us back to the 90s with their new vibrant and light track titled “Kung Ayaw Mo”—released on September 25 via Offshore Music.  

After a year since July, Mt. Lewis finally released a fresh new song following their synth-rock fusion single “Kidlat”. Still carrying that same electrifying feeling, “Kung Ayaw Mo” differs slightly as it leans towards a more coy and quirky tone, specifically describing that stage in a budding relationship where uncertainty and misunderstandings can be settled with playful banter as heard in the lyricism and instrumentation of the song.  A “suyuan” anthem, if you will.
