Typecast

**Typecast** is a Filipino alternative rock band that’s been shaping the Philippine music scene since their formation in 2002. Known for their emotionally charged lyrics and dynamic blend of post-hardcore, emo, and rock, the band consists of Steve Badiola (vocals), Melvin Macatiag (bass), Chi Capul (guitar), and Adrian Macatiag (drums). They’ve built a loyal fanbase with introspective tracks like *How Your Influence Betrays You* and *Word Sits Heavy*, which mix raw energy with melodic vulnerability. Over two decades in, they’ve stayed relevant through live shows like *Campfire Sessions* and intimate gigs (check *Sweet 16 (Live at Checkpoint Bar, Parañaque)*), proving their knack for connecting deeply with audiences. Their recent releases, including *Slight* and *Mulat Na Mata*, keep that signature mix of angst and artistry alive, cementing Typecast as pillars of the Pinoy alt-rock scene.
