Hale is a Filipino alternative rock band formed in 2004 by Champ Lui-Pio (lead vocals, guitars), Roll Martinez (guitars, vocals), Sheldon Gellada (bass), and Omnie Saroca (drums and percussion). All members are based in the southern area of Metro Manila (Las Piñas, Alabang and Parañaque).

Hale resides in a small-but-fertile corner of the musical landscape. This land is populated by men and women who spent most of their youth in the rock scene, but who have recently discovered the simple beauty of a haunting melody and a few honest words. The music emanates a very sad undertone which the band describes as melodrama . The lyrical content of their songs are insightful, sad, angry, and earnest; producing music with substance and that explores the full range of human emotions.
