Inspired by the English countryside near…

In Teto’s debut album About me and you, the husband-and-wife duo from Cainta, Rizal, Jasper and Angel Nicolas, bottle the small, ordinary moments that keep long relationships alive and turn them into soft, heartfelt indie-pop songs.

Across ten tracks, the band dissects digital identity, collapsing…

Some love songs are written under moonlight. Others arrive after heartbreak. Remik Erikson’s “Nacho,” meanwhile, was apparently born from watching his wife make a plate of nachos in the kitchen — and somehow, against all odds, it works ridiculously well.  The Windsor-based artist takes domestic affection, hunger, flirtation, and playful…

New York glam-punk wrecking crew Ridiculous Bitch don’t believe in subtlety, and thank God for that.
