She’s Only Sixteen

Manila, Philippines

She’s Only Sixteen is an alternative band from Manila, Philippines. Roberto Seña (vocals, guitar, synths, keys), Andrew Panopio (guitar), Anjo Silvoza (bass), and King Puentespina (drums, synths, keys) derive their influences from genre- and era-spanning styles, juxtaposing occasionally anthemic, often inescapable rhythms with lyrical themes that explore realist jadedness in almost real-time weariness. This irony is at the core of the band’s galvanizing live performances, where they project human fallibility —strikingly—with both tenderness and animosity.

The band is signed under independent label Party Bear Records.
