Billboard Philippines - Volume 5

Dans ce numéro

The true origins of the terms “indie” and “alternative” to define music have been the subject of much debate. Billboard Philippines takes a look into the rich and diverse indie and alternative scenes in the country — scenes that have so much history and sounds that they couldn’t be encompassed in a single cover.
The Billboard Philippines Indie & Alternative Issue is a special flip edition with back-to-back covers, each with a distinct set of stories.
The Indie side has funk-pop heroes Lola Amour as its cover stars, as they retrace their journey from playing multiple shows a night as relative unknowns to their massive album launch after going viral with “Raining In Manila.”
Flip the issue over for the Alternative side and read about the almighty Sandwich, the enduring alt-rock institution who have deftly navigated changing trends while remaining true to themselves.
Filipino music is filled with artists and bands that fall under either or both categories — proving that quality, below-the-radar music continues to be created, released, and performed throughout the country. It all deserves to be heard, and Billboard Philippines is here to document it and share it to the world.
