It took five years for #IVofSpades (@IVOFSPADES) to settle their differences after disbanding in 2020, and eight years for all four original members to come together once again. For Rolling Stone Philippines’ March 2025 issue celebrating the magazine’s first anniversary, the Filipino rock band — consisting of Unique Salonga, Blaster Silonga, Zild Benitez, and Badjao De Castro — explains how they achieved more together than they could ever do alone. They also share their lessons on growing into yourself, the art of kicking it, and breaking the mystique behind making music.
