Novocrane is gaining traction in the alternative and indie music world, highlighted in this year’s Jack Daniel’s On Stage campaign—a nine-month program featuring rising artists in Metro Manila. They’re just getting started; the band just released their latest single “Moshpit.” This track serves as an anthem for those seeking deeper connections amid life’s frustrations, longing, numbness, and dissatisfaction, offering the release of shared energy in a crowd where everyone wants the same thing.
“Moshpit” captures the desire to dance, experience live music, and connect with strangers over shared excitement, creating a judgment-free space where joy prevails, problems fade, and adrenaline surges. The song celebrates the live music environment, where the music feels immediate and liberating, delivering honest energy that resonates deeply. As Novocrane puts it, “We want to dance, we want to see live music, we want to be in a crowd of people we don’t know, and be excited about the same thing with them.”
The group has performed alongside major names like Dilaw and Kamikazee at Dilaw’s album launch, and joined Blaster and SOS at a key stop of the SOS It Was a Moment album tour, positioning them among the Philippines’ most in-demand acts. Novocrane has also established itself at live events, appearing at Fête de la Musique and participating in Gregory Pack’s Summit Sessions campaign, demonstrating their growing presence in the live music landscape. Besides live performances and guestings, media attention has boosted their profile with features in outlets such as THE FLYING LUGAW, CLAVEL, Coast2Coast, BILLBOARD PH, and MYX, helping them reach both alternative fans and broader audiences.

Moshpit
Novocrane
Verse 1:
This is nothing personal yeah
I can’t feel my legs at all
Wasting time learning all about logic
Same old bands in the radio
My favorite song
It’s been way too long
Since I’ve heard it
I remember drowning in love
Staying up late
Now it’s “fuck outta my face”
Chorus:
Let the bodies hit the floor
I’m way too
Oversensitive about
All that I’ve done
I’m not really here, don’t mind me
I just wanna live in a moshpit
Think I overthink too much,
I thought so
Should I tell them where I’ve been?
Too late I’m drunk
I don’t really care, what’s the problem?
I just wanna live in a moshpit
Verse 2:
Happy to be catching up
Back it up yea
Every club now needs a metronome
I don’t know why
But you got me acting like I’m on drugs
I don’t even know shit
I’m only 23
Fake love, small talks,
Get out of my sight
Cheap wines, missed flights,
Keep running out of time
I got nothing to hide
So just “fuck outta my face”
Chorus 2:
Let the bodies hit the floor
I’m way too
Oversensitive about
All that I’ve done
I’m not really here, don’t mind me
I just wanna live in a moshpit
Think i overthink too much,
I thought so
Should I tell them where I’ve been?
Too late I’m drunk
I don’t really care, what’s the problem?
Post Chorus
I just wanna live in a moshpit
I just wanna live in a moshpit
I just wanna live in a moshpit
(I just wanna live)
I just wanna live in a moshpit
(I just wanna live)
I just wanna live in a moshpit
