Hey Goodbye emerges from the Philippines’ longstanding, vibrant community of rock and roll creators, a space that has nurtured countless interpretations of the genre, each weaving together the foundational impulses of global rock and roll with the distinct creative currents that shape artistic practice across the archipelago. Unlike works that pull rock and roll into entirely separate genres to create cross-genre fusions, this sound is rooted firmly in the rock and roll canon, aligned with the genre’s core identity that has traveled across borders to take root in creative hubs across the Philippines, from major urban centers where independent and mainstream creators share stages and audiences, to smaller regional communities that cultivate their own unique takes on the form’s most enduring traits.
