Gracenote reaffirms storied legacy with Walang Makakapigil intimate concert
More than 15 years into their career, Filipino alternative pop band Gracenote continues to defy expectations with an intimate but enthralling set during their 2025 headline show, Walang Makakapigil—reaffirming their storied legacy as one of the most important female-fronted bands of their generation.
The pop-rock quartet captivated the audience with familiar classics such as “Bakit Ganyan Ka?” and “Flynn Rider,” both standout tracks from their 2019 album, &. Fans were also treated to an electrifying version of Rico Blanco’s “Antukin,” showing their more tender music side.
Bassist Jazz Jorge showed remarkable versatility as he took over vocal duties for two songs, “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” and “Baso At Bote,” drawing the audience into a euphoric state. The band kept the excitement alive with new tracks like “Wasabi” and “Walang Makakapigil,” proving their unwavering commitment to artistry while honoring their punk, emo, and pop-rock roots.
Gracenote amplified their dynamic sound through EJ Pichay’s intricate drumming, Tatsi Jamnague’s tasteful guitar riffs, and Jazz Jorge’s suave basslines. They delivered their set with precision and boldness, constantly pushing the limits of their musicality. At the heart of this organized chaos, Eunice Jorge shone with undeniable star power and commanding stage presence. Her extraordinary voice, charisma, and energy turned every moment into something larger than life. Together, the band owned the stage with crowd favorites like “Minsan Lang Naman” and “Tulog.”
The band performed 21 songs from their career-defining discography, enchanting the audience with not just a wave of nostalgia but also a sing-along set that balanced power and restraint, earnestness and sentimentality.
Soupstar Music, in partnership with Redlines Productions, EMI Records Philippines, and UMG Philippines, presented Gracenote’s Walang Makakapigil concert.
