The young pop/alternative collective hailing from the North of the Philippines brings together a lineup of distinct, complementary talents: Gian Bernardino and Raphaell Ridao on vocals, Gabriel Fernandez on lead guitar, CJ Fernandez on rhythm guitar, and Xen Gareza on keys, whose combined creative energy powers every release issued under the group’s official name, Cup of Joe. Ikaw Pa Rin Ang Pipiliin Ko, the pop work that anchors this entry, sits within a rapidly expanding, widely celebrated discography that has positioned the band as one of the most promising new acts to emerge from the Philippine music scene in recent years. The band first drew widespread national attention with the release of their first full EP, the much-anticipated collection titled “Patutunguhan,” which marked their official debut album and introduced a slate of new tracks that would go on to earn both critical acclaim and massive commercial traction across streaming and social platforms.
