Death Cab for Cutie

In the live recording from the NBC Tent in Manila on March 5, 2012, Death Cab for Cutie was riding high on the success of their album 'Codes and Keys,' which was released just a year prior, in 2011. This tour was a significant moment for the band, showcasing their evolving sound that blends indie rock with deeper lyrical storytelling. Interestingly, 'Codes and Keys' marked a shift for the group, as it was their first album created without the influence of founding member Chris Walla, who departed from the band in 2014. Playing in Manila, a location that really highlights their growing international appeal, they brought a vibrant performance that resonated with fans. The setlist likely included favorites from this era, offering a poignant look at the band's journey and transformation.
