Alternative rock band Crash dropped their debut single ‘Sa Susunod Na Lang’ after getting signed under O/C Records early this year.
Crash is composed of Samuel Ramos (lead vocalist and guitarist), Julian Avellana (bassist), and Ken Delos Santos (pianist). The ensemble was a product of a high school fellowship and flourished in 2020 during the pandemic when the group bonded over crafting demos independently.
Now signed under a record label, Crash showcases their debut track, Sa Susunod Na Lang — a pop-alternative rock song about second chances, rejection, and hope. A narrative piloted by how the power of love may or may not grant desires for a second chance in love.
“The inspiration behind the track came from the sudden feeling of overthinking about if one was ever enough for a person. The meaning behind the song is all about thoughts from the aftermath of rejection. Eventually, in the end, there is still a sense of hope from the person that there is still a chance,” Crash shares.
Composed by the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist Samuel Ramos, the story of the track springs from a “conversation with someone” to which the artist decided to craft a song revolving around such experience to express his thoughts and emotions about the situation.
Crash shares that the song carries a “personal” message they hope listeners can relate to both through its lyrics and sonic approach.
“We need to express our thoughts at some point to find the answers we’re looking for,” Crash shares as they talk about the underlying note of the song.
Sa Susunod Na Lang features a blend of pop-alternative rock and soul tunes — reverberating a “sad,” “romantic,” and “optimistic” mood. The record’s sonic arrangement is significantly grounded on its guitar instrumentation— starting with a “soft and chill” guitar riff that gradually builds into a “grand” melody.
After years of creating records independently, the three-piece band patently exhibits a zeal to introduce their music to the OPM scene and start building a path that would bring their artistic ideas to fruition. Sa Susunod Na Lang marks the beginning of the band’s quest to put forward what they can offer to their listeners.
You can now stream Sa Susunod Na Lang on all digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
