Album Notes

British-style pop rock songs grounded in Filipino/Pinoy sensibilities result in The Haneps, a pop rock outfit taking off from music of British music icons (among others: The Beatles, The Kinks, Cream, The Who, Radiohead, Blur, Coldplay, Tears for Fears, and Morrisey), and Filipino acts such as The Eraserheads and The Youth, as well as their own contemporaries.

The result is a happy union of Brit-pop/Brit-rock and Filipino/Pinoy Rock that’s a beautifully inconsistent garage sound. The result is a diverse range of catchy tunes—experimental, yet always fun; sounds that are distinctive and memorable at the same time.

Think of 60s-style psychedelic rock mixed with 90′s alternative and straight-up rock n’ roll and you’ll get the idea. Listening to music from The Haneps is like taking a colorful trip inside the many pictures of a photo album–-surreal yet curiously familiar.
