About this Song
Pop in the Philippines has long drawn creative energy from regional acts that balance broad mainstream appeal with the specific cultural perspective of their hometowns, and one of the most exciting young outfits carrying that tradition forward is the six-piece collective Cup of Joe, a pop/alternative band hailing from the country’s North. Made up of Gian Bernardino on vocals, Raphaell Ridao on vocals, lead guitarist Gabriel Fernandez, rhythm guitarist CJ Fernandez, and keyboardist Xen Gareza, the group has built a cohesive, engaging discography that has quickly cemented their status as one of the most promising new acts in the country’s bustling music landscape. Their trajectory is marked by a string of well-received releases, critical accolades, and commercial milestones that set them apart from many of their peers, starting with their first formal major project, the much-anticipated debut EP Patutunguhan.
