Editor's note

A'ST1's Dutch pop-rock with a folk touch

A Dutch trio that broke through with "1234 Back!" and kept touring Europe for years.

If you're checking them out, start with "1234 Back!" and maybe "I was a fool." That gives you the range without overthinking it.

They had that 1991 single "1234 Back!" that just stuck around as their signature track. The Edison Award for "In Between" in 2002 showed they could still put together a solid album later on. Songs like "I was a fool" and "Something Happened To My Heart" give you a sense of their mix, pop and rock with some folk in there.

Maarten and Peter de Boer started the band with Henk Westbroek in 1988. "1234 Back!" broke them in 1991, and they kept going through the '90s with a compilation in 1998 and that Edison-winning album in 2002. They toured Europe regularly while they were active.

Archive material and source history

A'ST1 was a Dutch band formed in 1988 by brothers Maarten and Peter de Boer along with their childhood friend Henk Westbroek. They broke through in 1991 with the single "1234 Back!", which became their signature track. The group's sound mixed pop, rock, and folk elements, with Maarten handling lead vocals and guitar, Peter on drums, and Westbroek contributing bass and lyrics.

Their 1998 compilation "10 Jaar A'ST1" collected material from their first decade, and the 2002 album "In Between" earned them an Edison Award. Other songs in their catalog include "Funky n roll tonight", "I was a fool", "Why", and "Something Happened To My Heart". They toured regularly in Europe during their active years.
