AECH's new single that stands out as a love letter to their homeland, Antipolo City.
AECH (pronounced “H”), a rising Filipino band mixing country and rock, just dropped a new single called “Highlands.” Released on April 4, in commemoration of its cityhood anniversary, the song is a personal shoutout to their hometown, Antipolo City.
It’s filled with hope, pride, and hometown nostalgia, wrapped in a laidback country sound. This release follows their debut EP The Afternoon (2024), and it’s clear—AECH is carving out their own lane in OPM.
Formed in summer 2023, the band’s been steadily gaining fans through live gigs and features—like their spot on Wish 107.5. “Highlands” marks another big step.
The lyrics paint Antipolo clearly: “From the highest mountains to the falling falls.” It’s calm, proud, and real. The hook—“Living in the Highlands, where the music plays”—feels like home.
They officially launched the single on April 5 at How ű Brewin' Music Cafe with other indie artists: Azul, Jerry Something, Audiovault, Yes Friday, GRIDN, and Race to Valhalla. It was small and packed with love—exactly the kind of setting that shows how tight AECH is with the local scene.
