Ben&Ben launches ‘BBTV’

-

After reaching more than a million subscriber­s on YouTube, multi-awarded nine-piece collective Ben&Ben heeded the call of fans for more exclusive content. The acclaimed band has recently announced the launch of their upcoming weekly series, BBTV.

“We’ve been making vlogs that showed our life behind the scenes, but eventually the band and its team came up with the idea,” vocalist and guitarist Miguel Benjamin shared. “Its primary goal is to simply find more ways to connect to people through more varied content.”

Aside from performanc­es and collaborat­ions, expect an intimate look at the band’s more personal and entertaini­ng side as they share their journey of living together under one roof. “We decided to live together to eliminate or at least greatly lessen the risks involved with working outside,” Miguel says. “We always had the idea of living together in the future to create content and write music, but with the situation now we realized that now was the best time to actually give it a shot.”

Ben&Ben also revealed their plans to drop a “head bang” version of their smash single “Pagtingin,” as well as cover select K-Pop songs in the future.

The online series, which airs every Wednesday, will also feature a more extensive range of content for people to connect with, including but not limited to games, competitio­ns, challenges and other forms of entertainm­ent.

The band is currently working on the follow-up of its platinum-selling debut album, Limasawa Street, which produced generation-defining songs such as “Pagtingin,” “Fall,” “Araw-Araw” and “War.”

New episodes of BBTV drops every Wednesday of the week on Ben&Ben’s YouTube Channel starting 5 August.
