Zild - 'Bungantulog'

Zild has unveiled 'Bungantulog', one of his favorite tracks off his upcoming album Huminga. The visual was another project by Two Fold Media and was directed by Trina Razon and Raymond Dacones.

"I envision this second record as something that would remind you of outdoors," Zild tells Bandwagon. "Since Homework Machine is really strictly electronic, I think it reflects our situation getting stuck in a small room. I’m just sick of staying indoors and it’s getting depressing sometimes. I imagined 'Bungantulog' in a farm and good thing that Raymond’s family of Two Fold Media has one. Raymond and Trina are like my family already and we’re willing to do anything together. Whenever we shoot videos, it just feels like we’re creating a college project but with expensive gear."

Faspitch - 'Pain'

Faspitch have released their latest single 'Pain', following 2019's 'Skin' and 'Flame'. The new single is part of a short story that tells vocalist Henry Allen's addiction and the different struggles people can go through as he did.

"Things like the agony of not wanting to get out of bed each day and not wanting the world to see you. You can let it whittle away at you or you could let be a painful reminder of how lucky you are to be alive," he tells Bandwagon. "'Pain' is part of a pair of songs the second of which we'll release later in the year just as 'Skin' and 'Flame' were a pair of songs that had a tandem story."
