Post-hardcore rock band Firefalldown
has released a new single entitled "Kahulugan" under Warner Music
Philippines.
During their single launch last April
30, the band composed of frontman and composer Jon Blaylock, bassist Djimi
Django, and drummer Jedd Manjares discussed how this song would help them
promote their advocacies on social change and why music fans should watch out
for it.
‘I wanted
to make this about seeking truth - both with a big T and a small t. The point
is that you cannot just rely on what you’re spoonfed at university or through
the media. The truth does find you but it still needs to be sought’, Blaylock
explained.
For them, the single, “Kahulugan”, is
about finding meaning in the midst of the pursuit of truth.
"If you still believe what you’re
fed by Hollywood and the mainstream media, then in a very real sense, you are
part of the problem," Blaylock added.
Firefalldown, which was founded in
United Kingdom in 2008, returns to the music industry after a one-year hiatus.
Since relocating to Manila in 2014, the post-hardcore trio has been in and out
of the scene, independently releasing a second full length and a handful of
singles including “Forever Never the Same”, “These Wounds” and the political
thought stimulating “Halimaw.”
This time around, the band offers
listeners an evolved sound that music fans are sure to love - they call it
rhythmic post-hardcore with pop leanings. They also promise to deliver a
well-crafted, energetic live show through the band’s #TrutherTour. In
fact, it is now beginning to gain momentum with an extensive string of dates
set to take place throughout the country, stopping at familiar music
venues and food parks from Laguna to Naga.
“Kahulugan” is now available on Spotify and it will be available on your
favorite streaming sites such as Apple Music and iTunes soon.
