Cebu’s post-punk juggernaut—otherwise known as, ‘the band that refuse to die’—The Spirals has been around the local music scene since the 2000s. One year shy of celebrating their 2nd decade, the band released  “The Curse of The Spirals” last May 2019. The release was the band’s first and official full length release (their debut EP ‘A Decade After’, was released some time in the middle of 00’s, later reissued on 2018 with additional bonus tracks).

Their style of music is specifically hard to pin down. One minute, their energy throbs and thumps on post-punk swag, while on the next you’re smothered by a swathe of blistering noise and shoegaze melodies. But this is no surprise. A band that has gone through several incarnations and has also become a revolving door for a motley of diverse and talented local musicians, is certain to manifest a manifold of sonic energy as The Spirals.

Current lineup: Louell Armas-Lopez (vocals), Patrick Gallito (guitars), Filman Andaya-Bongco (guitars), Francis Rivas (bass), Breezneb Rosende (drums)
