Check out killer Filipino hardcore band BADWAVE on their brand new music video. The band was also kind enough to send in this badass write up (SO APPRECIATED!!!!)
“Emerging from the vibrant underground scene of the Philippines, hardcore punk crossover band Badwave is making waves with their latest music video release. Known for their relentless energy, humor, and raw sound, Badwave’s new music video is a powerful representation of their intense music style and lyrics that gravitate towards positive mental attitude.
The video, shot in stark black-and-white, captures the band in their element—blasting through their track with their homies moshing and singing along. The raw, unfiltered visuals perfectly complement the band’s aggressive sound, blending fast-paced, chugging guitar riffs with thunderous drums and visceral vocals. Badwave’s latest work is a testament to the resilience of a generation, channelling their frustrations into a powerful hardcore anthem.
Badwave has quickly gained a reputation in the local scene for their unyielding approach to hardcore, drawing inspiration from both classic hardcore pioneers and modern influences. With this new video, they’re not just showcasing their musical prowess, but also delivering a message that resonates deeply with their audience (self-empowerment).
Fans of the genre should keep an eye on Badwave as they continue to rise within the Southeast Asian hardcore scene. The new video is more than just a visual treat; it’s a statement of intent from a band that’s here to stay. Be sure to check out Badwave’s latest release and experience the intensity for yourself.”
