Filipino band The Itchyworms is celebrating its 20th anniversary in the music industry with a release of a limited edition collab shirt with a local retail brand.
The band teamed up with local shirt brand Linya-Linya for the first time and released the limited merch featuring each member’s silhouettes with their song titles.
The retail brand, also a content creator, released an animated short film to commemorate The Itchyworms’ two decades in the music industry. This was also in collaboration with local animation studio Vonas.
“The animated short features lyrics from famous hits by the band with the characters of Linya-Linya aimed to bring everyone together and motivate us to stay strong during these times,” the retail brand said.
The release of The Itchyworms’ merch is part of the album launch campaign.
The band is set to throw a virtual party on August 17 to also celebrate the release of its fifth studio album titled “Waiting For the End.”
