 IV of Spades (Music)
comment
IV of Spades is a Filipino band hailing from Manila. They are known for an Alternative Rock sound (and more often than not, their outfits) heavily influenced by The '70s and The '80s. The band was formed in 2014 thanks to Allan Silonga and his friends banding their sons together, and rose to fame thanks to singles like "Hey, Barbara!" and "Mundo". In 2018, vocalist Unique left the band to pursue a solo career. Memes aside, the trio seemed to have taken it in stride.Their long-awaited full-length debut CLAPCLAPCLAP! was released in January 2019.Members: Blaster Silonga - guitar, backing vocals (2014-) Zild Benitez - vocals, bass, keyboards (2014-) Badjao de Castro - drums, percussion, backing vocals (2014-)Former members: Unique Salonga - vocals, rhythm guitar (2014-2018)

Epileptic Flashing Lights: "Bawat Kaluluwa" has a warning note for this as the band's Dress Rehearsal Video parts make liberal use of the trope.

The Comically Serious: "Where Have You Been, My Disco?" has all the band members giving you The Stoic looks while in brightly colored settings. Demonstrated best in the moment Zild lightly slaps Unique towards the camera.
