The Philippines' Sheila and the Insects are committed to smashing preconceived notions. First of all, there's nobody named Sheila in the band; secondly, although the group is lumped in with the alternative-rock scene in Manila, they're actually from Cebu; thirdly, they mainly sing in English; and lastly, despite their basic rock & roll instrumentation, they're actually rooted in the arty '80s New Wave of <a href="spotify:artist:3yvNAZbCyhOTQpkICM2etO" data-name="The Railway Children">The Railway Children</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2ZfogSsOWP4mVfEqfpLXCt" data-name="The Church">The Church</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:63yEaRONzlJVu1ozymo4Fk" data-name="The Wild Swans">The Wild Swans</a>.
With their shimmering guitars, hummable melodies, and husky vocals, Sheila and the Insects are viewed as New Wave revivalists; while there is validity in that claim, the combo also pays homage to '90s alternative rock by cranking up the amps.
