The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is coming to Davao and Manila this coming September, so let’s get those rockin ‘tunes on repeat, Sugboanons!
It’s going to be one hell of a night as the ultimate early 2000’s American rock band graces the Philippine stages once again since their last visit in 2016 for their “Don’t You Fake It: 10 Year Anniversary World Tour.”
On June 5, 2024, PULP Live World posted on social media a mystery photo that sparked the excitement of netizens as it showed three red jumpsuits with the initials of R, J, and A. And the best part? Well, the band commented on the post to confirm the fans’ speculations, “🔥🖤SET LIST=ALL THE BANGERS‼️📝,” they wrote.
So, before the month of September comes, let’s get the nostalgia going as we get into the banger songs of The red Jumpsuit:
Face Down
The song “Face Down” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has garnered over 149 million views on YouTube since its release in 2006. The powerful music video delves into the harrowing reality of abusive relationships, shedding light on the struggle of recognizing red flags despite being in love. The song confronts the abuser, questioning their actions and asking if they feel any remorse for the harm they cause. It’s a reminder of the importance of standing up against abuse, choosing to leave regardless of the level of love, and seeking help when needed.
Your Guardian Angel
It’s one of the most timeless emo-pop anthems that still gives us goosebumps as it changes keys in the bridge. The heartfelt lyrics and emotional melody of “Your Guardian Angel” have been a go-to choice for expressing love and devotion to someone special, especially during non-conventional weddings. With over 32 million views on YouTube, it remains the anthem in the alternative and emo community.

Cat and Mouse
If you’ve been in a relationship where you felt like you’re in sync with your partner one minute, only to find yourselves drifting apart the next, then the song “’Cat and Mouse” will be your anthem.’ It’s a song about the heartache of growing apart and watching your dreams change individually while still in a so-called “committed relationship”.
