Saigon alternative rock band Thangca have released 100 Ngày (100 Days), a slow-burn single written during the COVID-19 lockdown and out now via Gió Đông. Built around the suffocating stillness of a city under quarantine, it is one of the more considered releases to come out of that period.
Cúp Học Thêm bring the energy of a night where the music brought everyone closer — loud, restless, and full of emotion, like a recess that didn’t want to end. The student-uniform dress code added a special layer to the atmosphere, bringing people back to the feeling of being on school grounds again, where everything felt both familiar and new in its own way. Take a look back at the moments from that night — where the music stayed at the center, and youth was everywhere.
Saigon alternative rock outfit Neon White are back with “Delirium,” their third single and clearest statement to date. Darker, heavier, and more atmospheric than anything they’ve released before, the track arrives alongside a music video from local creative studio Mini-Creative that matches the song’s controlled intensity beat for beat.
GAI 荄, Windrunner, and new project Pastgloom have released “Victus Sum,” a melodic progressive metalcore single tied to the EP “Glass Angels Initiative: Code Orange.” All net proceeds go to VAVA in support of families still living with the consequences of Agent Orange contamination in Vietnam.
Saigon Sailor delivered a relentless night of uncompromised. Cút Lộn opened with brute-force heavy hardcore. COCC followed, trapping the room in suffocating post-rock loops. Dis Fig plunged the floor into post-industrial, mechanical dread, before fan-favorites 9xacly ignited a frantic pit, until the cops abruptly pulled the plug.
All Mixed Up Vol. 9 traded heavy for melodic, bringing together four acts across dream-pop, punk-edged alternative, feel-good rock, and industrial electronic. From Drive Lullaby’s hazy warmth to My Broken Society’s dystopian edge, the night proved the series still knows how to keep things unpredictable.
