Philippines Meets RBS Madness – Beatdown Band BLOODSTAIN Drop Debut EP [Philippines]

By on February 19, 2026

Hailing from San Jose, Rodriguez, Rizal, this band is BRIGAD3‘s definitive answer to the RBS (Real Bay Shit) hardcore sound. Hearing them for the first time, the Outta Pocket influence is undeniable, but BLOODSTAIN brings in unique local undertones that make the sound their own. Their music is built on bouncy West Coast grooves, with a nasty bite underneath that keeps it from feeling like a straight tribute. They aren’t afraid to throw in traditional blast beats and fast-paced hardcore breaks, keeping the momentum high before dropping back into those mean-mug rhythms.

Their debut, ‘Arrogant Conviction’, is a short, sharp shock to the system. It captures the raw “tough-guy” bounce without losing the frantic energy of a local basement show. The guitars deliver a thick, metallic crunch that makes the slower parts feel massive, while the drums drive the fast sections with a punchy, aggressive snap.

The band is heading out to Indonesia on this massive bill featuring the hardest Filipino hardcore bands:

May 29 – Bali
May 30 – Malang
May 31 – Yogyakarta
