“This song takes such a common Filipino word, and plays around with all the complex feelings that surround it. It is meant to be a snapshot of what a ‘mature’ love and relationship is–it’s never perfect, or nicely pleated. There is something so comforting about that,” said the quintet. “We always try to root our songs in a youthful, hopeful heart,” they added.

Filipino pop-rock powerhouse IV OF SPADES marks their long-awaited comeback with the release of their sophomore album, Andalucia, arriving on November 5, 2025, on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
After a six-year hiatus and seven years since their last full-length album, CLAPCLAPCLAP! (2019), the iconic quartet reunites with a record that captures the essence of friendship, artistic maturity, and rediscovered unity. Cementing their legacy as one of the defining acts of modern OPM, Andalucia reveals softness that exists in codes, articulating scenarios and moments in cryptic but poetic exquisiteness, never finding the need to explain or elaborate.
The song's core message resonates deeply with Delinquent Society's journey, as they continue to dominate the underground rap scene. Boasting an impressive 1.7 million combined streams on Spotify and 1.5 million views on YouTube, the group has proven their appeal through genuine talent and consistent output. Their rise has not gone unnoticed, with features in respected publications like Rappler, Clavel, and Scout Magazine, highlighting how they're putting Davao artists on the map.
At its core, "8000WABAD" is a bold declaration of what Delinquent Society embodies: resilience, humility, and pride in their origins. Contemplate captures what the group stands for: “Number ko 8-0-0-0 tawag samin hero. Got the sauce that's a fact bruh ‘di mi hambugiro.” This part, as the group explains, symbolizes their approach to success: “These lines really represent the very essence of Delinquent Society as a group. We know we have the 'sauce' or what it takes to take it further, but we don't brag about it on social media, etc. We just show it through our product and consistently showing up whenever it matters the most. We're not like these other groups that talk a lot, thus, ‘di mi hambugiro.’ We just want to represent where we're from, and for that, the city looks at us like heroes.”
Building on their momentum, Delinquent Society recently collaborated on a successful event in Davao with Kartell’em last October 17, further cementing their influence in the community. Fans eager for more from this group should keep an eye out for upcoming events and releases. Make sure to follow Delinquent Society and Diorama FM across all major streaming platforms to stay in the loop.

Just a month after dropping “Pink Skies,” The Bloomfields are back with “Balikan,” a luminous new track that yearns for the beauty of simpler days: a time when moments were lived, not streamed.
Brimming with nostalgia and reflection, “Balikan” conveys the universal longing to return to the glorious memories of the past while rediscovering its warmth.
“This song is about that sudden realization of how quickly time passes—and the longing to return to those simpler days,” shares Nathan Abella, the band’s rhythm guitarist. “It all started with something as ordinary as hanging out in a parking lot with old friends, which sparked a wave of nostalgia.”
