People say it takes about 21 days for you to get into the groove of a new habit. It's been half a year and it seems the entire world is still adjusting to the "new normal."

The earlier part of lockdown has barred artists from physically being with their community, forcing them to go completely digital until things get sorted out. A bunch of them, like Zild Benitez and The Itchyworms, created full-length albums, while others like Oh, Flamingo!, Ben&Ben, Shanne Dandan, and Bea Lorenzo helped keep their followers sane with frequent podcast episodes and Facebook/Instagram Live sessions.

GIGS ARE CANCELLED, HERE'S HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE MUSICIANS

Here are some live quarantine sessions you should follow and check out:

Bea Lorenzo

In early September, Filipina singer-songwriter Bea Lorenzo premiered the first episode of her new Live at the Lanai series, where she will be releasing live performances of original songs and covers. "And maybe when theres a vaccine," she tells Bandwagon, "collabs na rin, haha!"

x2

From what started as a project to produce a short track for a video, tide/edit's Clarence Garcia and AOUI's Paolo Yazon pushed through with their quarantine collab as x2.

According to Yazon, the idea to collaborate came up way before quarantine started. Things just continued to flow from there. "It seemed like the perfect opportunity to collab with one another since we had nothing but time (and anxiety) in our hands," he tells Bandwagon.

The members of Flu are stuck at home, but wanted to make sure you all plan to stay that way while the pandemic continues with quarantines cover like Drake's 'Hold On, We're Going Home.' They've also been busy working on their new EP, On Quarantine.

"Being locked down separately in Baguio, Laguna, and Las Piñas hasnʼt allowed us any opportunities to work on music together under one roof, not even once for the past 6 months," Flu tell Bandwagon in a message. "On Quarantine is a project that bloomed out of not being able to play together live. The EP features a distinct flavor of our released singles as well as covered tracks from Drake, Bill Withers/Jose James, and Vulfpeck. Working within our limited means in our individual homes, we wanted to produce a heartfelt EP that hopefully could bring a little good during these hard times
