Biography

The Midnight Waves emerged from the vibrant underground rock scene of Quezon City in 2018, quickly establishing themselves as one of the most exciting live acts in the Philippines. The four-piece band consists of Marco Santos (vocals/guitar), Diego Reyes (lead guitar), Sofia Cruz (bass), and Miguel Tan (drums).

Drawing inspiration from both international alternative rock and traditional Filipino musical elements, The Midnight Waves have crafted a sound that's both familiar and distinctly their own. Their music explores themes of identity, social issues, and personal growth, resonating with a growing fanbase across Southeast Asia.

After independently releasing their debut EP 'First Light' in 2019, the band caught the attention of AIR MUSIC PH, who signed them in 2020. Their first full-length album 'Ocean Tides' was released in 2022 to critical acclaim, with lead single 'Undertow' receiving extensive radio play throughout the Philippines.

Known for their energetic and emotionally charged live performances, The Midnight Waves have built a reputation as a must-see live act, selling out venues across the country and beginning to make inroads into the broader Asian tour circuit.
