The Dawn

The Dawn is a seminal rock band hailing from the Philippines, renowned for being one of the forerunners of the Filipino rock scene since their formation in the 1980s. The band initially captured the hearts of Filipinos with their iconic hit "Enveloped Ideas" and continued to be a significant force in shaping the sound and culture of Pinoy rock music. The Dawn's sound is characterized by its melodic hooks, anthemic rock arrangements, and thought-provoking lyrics, which often reflect socio-political themes relevant to Filipino society.

Over the years, The Dawn has shown remarkable versatility and endurance, repeatedly reinventing their music while staying true to their rock roots. Their recent releases, such as "Earth," "Financial Pink," and "Ascendant," showcase a band that remains current and continues to reach new generations of listeners. Despite changes in lineup—with the untimely passing of founding member and lead guitarist Teddy Diaz and the subsequent changes in band personnel —The Dawn has been sustained by the consistent presence of lead vocalist Jett Pangan. Their music’s consistent energy and passion resonate with both lifelong fans and newcomers to the Philippine rock scene, cementing their legacy as a bedrock in the tapestry of Filipino music.
