The Juans (stylized in lowercase) is a Filipino pop rock band based in Bulacan, Philippines.[1] It currently consists of lead vocalist and keyboardist Carl Guevarra, vocalist and lead guitarist Japs Mendoza, vocalist and bassist Chael Adriano, and vocalist and acoustic guitarist RJ Cruz.[2]

History

[edit]

The Juans was initially categorized as a boy band, but the management team decided to recategorize them as a conventional band. Jiad Arroyo was a founding member, along with Daniel Grospe. Carl Guevarra, Jason de Mesa, and Japs Mendoza joined later.

The band was initially named at a coffee shop shortly after a One Direction concert, where the boys were mulling the British boy band's popularity. They were initially called the D’ Juans, after Juan De La Cruz.[3]

In 2018, The Juans announced the departure of three members, Jiad Arroyo, Jason De Mesa, and Daniel Grospe, as their contract with Viva Records is about to expire.[4]

Before they departed, the band, along with Viva Records, created a miniseries called "We Are The Juans". They had recorded the EP, "Umaga", before the three members left the band.[5] Not so long after, The Juans introduced their new members, RJ Cruz, Chael Adriano, and Joshua Coronel.

They released the single "Dulo" in October 2021.[6]

Their March 2022 album LIWANAG was their first effort with more than two members contributing songs.[7] The album, according to the band, took over a year to complete.[8]

By June 2022, the band announced the departure of drummer Joshua Coronel citing personal reasons.[9][10]

It was revealed in October 2022 they were recording the theme song for the ABS-CBN series Tara, G!.[11]
