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.

It's more of a Love Spit Love cover rather than The Smiths, in my opinion.
