Iggy San Pablo, the driving force behind the beloved Filipino alt-rock band Rusty Machines, has embarked on a new sonic journey as “simple socks.” This isn’t a reinvention, but a deepening – a more confident exploration of the quiet dramas of adult life, viewed through the eyes of someone building a life far from home.

His debut single, “Training Wheels,” is a compelling indie rock track that embodies the bravery required to step outside one’s comfort zone.
