Naga City-based band IDLEPITCH casts a spell with new single “Salamangkera”

Drawing from Pinoy funk, Manila Sound, and yacht rock, the Filipino band pushes its sound in a fresh new direction

IDLEPITCH, one of the most prominent bands in Naga City, aims for a crossover breakthrough with the release of their new single “Salamangkera,” a funky, city pop-infused rock track that reveals an exciting new direction for the band.

Inspired by MOR and ‘80s groove, “Salamangkera” turns the familiar experience of being romantically smitten into a playful, metaphor-rich tune about attraction and losing oneself in the process.
