About this Song
Rooted in the Philippines’ vibrant, far-reaching ecosystem of rock & roll practice, If emerges as a sound that exists at the intersection of the genre’s global foundational language and the distinct, unshakable perspective of creators working from within the archipelago’s sprawling creative landscape. Rock & roll as a form has never been a static, monolithic construct, and every iteration that emerges from a context outside the genre’s earliest documented geographic origins carries with it a new layer of meaning, a reworking of core creative impulses that speak to the specific experiences of the people who shape it, and If is no exception to that quiet, ongoing revolution that has carried rock & roll across every continent, every community that has found in its core structure a vessel for their own truths, their own questions, their own explorations of what it means to make work that matters to the world they inhabit.
