WHY IV OF SPADES IS ABOUT TO BECOME YOUR NEW FAVORITE BAND?

♤

Recently, OPM bands and artists have not been appreciated as enthusiastically as before, because of a new generation of music lovers who tended to like western music or K-pop.

Well well, I’ve got good news!

Meet IV of Spades! This band is the hottest topic in the nation right now, and the music they make is impeccable. I could probably call them the heroes of OPM!

Fuck yeah.

In an era where both millennials and Gen Z-ers obsess over vinyl, analog photography, old cartoons, and retro aesthetics, IV OF SPADES couldn’t have entered the game at a better time. Playing at this year’s Scout Music Fest, the band emerged as the crowd’s surprise favorite performer, impressing both audiences and veteran musicians alike. Though some may easily dismiss them as an eccentric and manufactured pop band, the inevitable rise of IV OF SPADES is here and they’ve only just gotten started.

...

ABOUT THE BAND

.“IV of Spades” is a phenomenal and funky Filipino boy band whose members have been influenced by disco, classic rock, and hip-hop. They were formed in 2014 under Warner Music Philippines and founded by Allan “Daddy A” Silonga, father of one of the band members, who is also their manager.

Their known singles are “Hey Barbara”, “Ilaw Sa Daan”, “Mundo”, and “Where have you been, My Disco?”.

The band is composed of these four stylish boys:

Unique Salonga

Unique Torralba Salonga is the main vocalist and guitarist of the group. He was born on April 26, 2000, which makes him the youngest member of the band. He joined IV of Spades at the age of 14. He likes to post solo songs and videos on Social Media. This classy guy’s voice just melts your ears and brings impact to the band’s music! (photo by: Ezequiel Lumbang) Zild Benitez

Daniel Zildijan Garon Benitez a.k.a. Zild is the band’s bassist and vocalist. He was born on April 23, 1997. This outstanding lad was also a part of Music Hero along with Blaster, and actually won! I tell you, he is a wonderful bassist and brings their music a great sound. (photo by Ezequiel Lumbang) Blaster Silonga

Blaster Mitchelle Medina Silonga is the lead guitarist and is also the son of the group’s manager. He was born on September 30, 1999. This boy is the one who drives the fangirl’s wild with his awesome guitar skills and good looks. He was actually on the “Eat Bulaga” segment Music Hero (specifically guitar hero), along with fellow band member Zild. (photo by Ezequiel Lumbang) Badjao De Castro Last but not the least, we have the group’s outstanding drummer and oldest member, Badjao! Christian Gabriel “Badjao” de Castro was born on July 11, 1994. Even my ears get snatched with his awesome drumming skills; his beat is intense! He is also actually good at playing launchpads whenever they do live sessions on certain stations, since drums can be hard to carry around. (photo by Ezequiel Lumbang) (source: scoutmag.ph)
