ONE CLICK STRAIGHT (OCS) officially sign with The Rest Is Noise (TRIN) for global management and announce a mini tour across Asia.
In collaboration with the band’s manager, Eezh Arcangel, the partnership will see TRIN oversee the band’s international bookings and management activities outside the Philippines. This includes artist development, touring, brand partnerships, synchronization and licensing opportunities, and other commercial and professional ventures aimed at expanding the band’s global presence.
Alongside this milestone, the band are slated to perform at major international festivals, including performances at Playtime Festival in Mongolia and a forthcoming festival in Vietnam this July 2026.
After a year of collaboration between the band and TRIN through regional showcase festivals such as AXEAN Festival, music export initiatives, and international industry networking programs, the only way forward is up.
“We felt there’s still a huge gap between what we consider ‘export-ready’ artists — those who are ready for and have elicited interest from international markets — and these new audiences, which require a lot of investment, strategy, planning, and meaningful connections,” MC Galang, co-founder of The Rest Is Noise PH, says. “Since the Philippines is still considered an ‘emerging’ market, we have to actively pursue, if not create, these opportunities.”
“We look forward to helping ONE CLICK STRAIGHT reach these new opportunities as we continue our work platforming Filipino music artists around the world,” Galang adds.
Looking ahead the shows outside the country, Tim Marquez, the band’s drummer, vocalist, and songwriter, shared his excitement about bringing the band’s music to new audiences and connecting with diverse cultures around the world. “I think it’s a humbling feeling to know the music you’ve created in such a small and personal space is resonating in different places. I firmly believe that Filipino music deserves to be heard, and I’m just grateful to the people who listen.”
Sam Marquez, the band’s vocalist and lead guitarist, expressed his enthusiasm with this monumental partnership with TRIN, saying, “[They have] been so helpful in guiding and supporting us through our international journey. We’re always looking forward to learning new things with them. Their passion mirrors ours, and that’s the kind of collaboration we want with us on this journey.”
