Choke Cocoi started in Lucena City in 1999, becoming one of a small handful of all-women Filipino punk bands. And over the last 23 years, through family and career, moving across cities and countries, with varying degrees of activity, they've continued to play their style of mettalic, 90s-inspired hardcore. They play with the heaviness and ferocity of bands like His Hero is Gone and Unruh, but lean into the mosh and toughness prominent in hardcore of that time. Experience a band that's so important to so many people, the finest punk that the island has to offer.
