About This Album
Rock & roll as a form has always carried the weight of translation, the way it bends and stretches to fit the landscapes that claim it, turning a global idiom into something so rooted in local texture that it feels like it could have originated nowhere else, and that quiet, transformative magic is at the core of every layer of this collection, which bears the name Pogi Years Old, a title that carries its own quiet nod to the specific cultural space it emerges from, the Philippines, a nation whose decades-long engagement with rock & roll has produced a lineage of work that never merely replicates the genre’s transatlantic origins, but instead pulls at its threads to suit the needs, the joys, the griefs and the quiet triumphs of the communities that embrace it.
