IV OF SPADES reunite with surprise release of “Aura”
The new track serves as the band’s first official release under their new record label, Sony Music Entertainment and their new management, Balcony Music Entertainment
IV OF SPADES are finally back!
After going on hiatus to pursue their
respective solo careers and side projects, the Filipino rock supergroup breaks
their silence with the surprise release of “Aura,” their first single since
2020’s “Sariling Multo (Sa Panaginip).”
Produced by IV OF SPADES and Brian
Lotho, the song explores themes of longing and unconditional love, searching
for meaning and home among the sea of people.
Accompanying the release of “Aura” is a music video directed and produced by the
award-winning team at Lunchbox. Shot on a scenic hilltop, the visuals
capture the band in candid moments: walking, goofing around, and enjoying their
time together. It’s both intimate and cinematic, reminding fans of the
chemistry that once made IV OF SPADES a household name.
The comeback single also serves as IV OF
SPADES’ first official release under their new label, Sony Music
Entertainment, and new management, Balcony Music Entertainment.
Roslyn Pineda, General Manager, Sony Music
Philippines, spoke about the surprise release and the band’s long-awaited
return.
"Yesterday evening’s surprise drop
of IV OF SPADES’ new single, ‘Aura,’ was an unprecedented moment in Filipino
music,” shares the Filipino label executive. “Watching the music video, it
feels almost surreal that these four exceptionally talented individuals are
back together again. This release is a heartfelt gift to the passionate fans
who have missed them dearly. We believe 'Aura' will resonate deeply and bring
tears of joy, reminding everyone of the unique magic that IV OF SPADES brings
to the music scene."
The unexpected release instantly set
social media ablaze, with the band trending on X (formerly Twitter) within
hours. A wave of support poured in from fellow artists and fans, including
Singaporean alt-pop sensation Shye, Filipino nine-piece band Ben&Ben,
alternative rock outfit Over October, and Pinoy Big Brother actress
Kira Balinger, who all took to social media to celebrate the group’s
long-awaited comeback.
IV OF SPADES’ “Aura” is out now on all digital
music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

Lee Jae Wook Returns To Manila For 2025 Asia Fan Meeting Tour pro'log'
Korean actor Lee Jae Wook is making his much-awaited return to the Philippines for his 2025 LEE JAE WOOK ASIA FAN MEETING TOUR pro'log' in Manila! Set to take place on September 20 (Saturday) 6PM at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Presented by Wilbros Live.
This marks the Korean actor's second time in Manila, after his sold-out 2023 fan meeting, where he won over hearts with his genuine charm and sweet interactions with fans. Lee Jae Wook has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most exciting young actors in South Korea today. Whether he’s playing a romantic lead or taking on a role that’s more emotional and intense, he always manages to draw viewers in. Fans in Manila can expect to see the actor behind some of K-drama’s biggest hits, including Alchemy of Souls, Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, Extraordinary You, and Memories of the Alhambra—all of which show his versatile acting range.
Lee first caught viewers’ attention in Memories of the Alhambra, where he shared the screen with veteran actors Hyun Bin and Park Shin-hye. Since then, he’s steadily made a mark with both lead and supporting roles. Earlier this year, he took on a more challenging role in the Netflix drama Dear Hongrang, playing a mysterious figure who shows up claiming to be the long-lost son of a wealthy family. He’s also set to star in the upcoming drama Last Summer, which fans are already looking forward to. Outside of acting, Lee is currently showing a lighter, more playful side on tvN’s variety show Fresh off the Sea 2, where he’s charming viewers as the lovable youngest cast member.
Following a successful kickoff to his Asia Fan Meeting Tour in Japan, Lee Jae Wook shared, “Thanks to the fans, I created precious memories and received a lot of positive energy that strengthens me as an actor.”
With Manila as his next stop, he is set to bring that same warmth and passion to the stage. Don't miss an unforgettable night with Lee Jae Wook! Tickets go on-sale on July 26 Saturday 12PM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide.

Eraserheads: Combo On The Run makes history as the first Philippine documentary at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con 2025
The acclaimed documentary is also the first Philippine-produced film to grace the prestigious comic book and multi-entertainment convention
In a historic milestone for both Philippine cinema and the global music documentary scene, the film will not only be screened at SDCC but will also be featured in a panel discussion that will take place in Exhibit Hall 6BCF, an esteemed venue typically reserved for major titles in entertainment and pop culture. The panel will be led by director and producer Diane Ventura and joined by Ely Buendia, iconic frontman of the legendary Filipino rock band Eraserheads and a central figure in the documentary.
The presence of the Filipino docufilm at this venue marks a powerful moment of cultural crossover and artistic recognition, a feat that will surely bring pride and joy to the Philippines.
“I’m incredibly
grateful to have this opportunity to represent our people and country on a more
global platform,” said Ventura. “It’s long been my dream to spotlight the
ingenuity of Filipino art, talent, and creativity and to be part of a movement
that reframes the Filipino narrative. This is also my way of putting out a more
nuanced and extensive depiction of our people while bringing to light the
richness, humor, and depth of our stories.”
Upon its theatrical release in Philippine cinemas this summer under Warner Bros., the Dvent Pictures-produced Eraserheads: Combo On The Run received widespread acclaim from film critics and audiences alike. Billboard called it “a moving documentary for the younglings discovering their music and longtime fans reconnecting with the songs that defined their generation,” while GMA News hailed it as a “history lesson on an important chapter of Pinoy pop culture.” The film’s success at home led to multiple theatrical run extensions, screening in almost 200 cinemas nationwide.
In celebration of its SDCC debut, Kid Heroes Publications has also announced a special collaboration with the Eraserheads and DVent Pictures through a limited-edition one-shot comic book inspired by the film.
Inspired by the band’s documentary of the same name, the comic book reimagines the band’s semi-fictional journey through four unique stories told in an anthology format.
Illustrated by award-winning artists Raymund Lee, Felix Morales, and Ardie Aquino, and written by Patricio Ginelsa and Justin Quizon, Combo On The Run integrates music and mythology into an adventurous tale of musicians turned superheroes, making the world a better place one step at a time—thanks to their record-breaking hits, heroic deeds, and zombie-fighting missions.
The comic book features two exclusive cover designs by prominent Filipino American artists. Known for his influential work on Marvel titles such as The Punisher, X-Factor, Uncanny X-Men, and Iron Man, Whilce Portacio illustrated the Combo On The Run comic book cover, created exclusively for the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con edition. Meanwhile, Stephen Segovia, who made his mark on the international stage through his collaborations with DC Comics, lent his artistry to the SuperManila Exclusive edition.
Fans can pre-order the comic book now via the official Kid Heroes website.
Eraserheads Combo on the Run will be screened in theaters
worldwide in 2025.
