IV OF SPADES
IV of Spades is a Filipino band formed in Manila in the mid-2010s, known for blending elements of funk, disco, rock, and pop within a retro-inflected aesthetic. Emerging into mainstream attention with catchy, groove-oriented singles and stylized visuals, the group built a reputation for tight rhythmic arrangements, prominent basslines, and vocals that draw on vintage soul and contemporary pop sensibilities. Their music often features danceable tempos, melodic hooks, and a willingness to incorporate theatrical presentation and fashion as part of their artistic identity. While lineup changes have occurred, the band’s output and live performances have been associated with a revivalist approach to classic pop and funk textures filtered through a modern Philippine popular music context.
