Hansom

Hansom is a Filipino indie pop-rock act known for crafting catchy, heartfelt tunes that blend nostalgic synth-pop, breezy folk-rock, and witty Tagalog lyricism. Emerging from Manila’s vibrant DIY scene, the band—often associated with artist collective The Diegos—has become a cult favorite for their playful storytelling and relatable anthems about love, youth, and everyday Pinoy life. Tracks like *Pit-A-Pat* and *I Found Cubao* showcase their knack for pairing upbeat melodies with sly cultural references, while *Kanta Ang Panlaban* ("Song as Weapon") highlights their grassroots, community-driven ethos. Though shrouded in cheeky anonymity, Hansom frequently collaborates with local bands and artists, keeping their sound fresh while championing the spirit of independent Philippine music.
