IMAGO

IMAGO’s music stands the test of time. Since “Rainsong” hit the radio in 1997—also featuring on 2001 debut Probably Not, But Most Definitely—the Manila-based act have reinvented themselves, staying a step ahead of the pack thanks to sharp riffs, punchy basslines and a honed pop sensibility that is somehow both familiar and modern. Their biggest break was 2006's gold album Blush, where Pinoys got a taste of hits “Taralets”, “Sundo” and their cover of Eraserheads’ “Spoliarium”. Despite changing vocalists over the years, Imago have remained trailblazers who just keep on shaping OPM.
