Hundredth - How Soon Is Now? (The Smiths Cover) Live in Manila
Hundredth - How Soon Is Now? The Smiths Cover (Live)
The date is August 19, and young punks are holed up in a steamy art gallery somewhere Metro Manila's tangled sprawl.
It's a show, but not just any show-- it's crossover shoegazers, HUNDREDTH's first stint in the Southeast Asian region.
Chasing their sincerest creative impulses via a newfound love for dreampop and the post-punk revival of yore, the band has never sounded as confident-- even at risk of alienating fans of their old melodic hardcore stylings.
Jaws were to drop at the sound of a familiar tremolo-drenched guitar intro. Confused glances soon turned to expressions of sheer awe as the band digs into a chilling and powerful rendition of The Smiths' iconic 1985 classic, How Soon Is Now.
Join us as we relive the experience with this decidedly rare cut.
