A Belgian group that's been quietly building a catalog since 2005, from punk energy to reflective ballads.
For a quick sense of their range, put 'Punk Rock Blood' next to 'Bobby Is Going Home'. They're different planets, but it's the same band.
They've got that rare thing where you can hear the whole room in their recordings, the clatter of 'Punk Rock Blood' sits right alongside the more measured drift of 'Bobby Is Going Home'. They've worked with figures as different as Milow and Goran Bregović, which tells you something about their ears. It's not one mood; it's the sound of a band figuring it out as they go.
They formed in Belgium around 2005, led by Pieter-Jan De Smet. The debut 'No Words to Say' arrived that same year, followed by 'Mistakes We Made' in 2008 and albums like 'Now' and 'Shadows & Light' in the 2010s. The lineup has stayed steady with Raf De Mey on keys, Joost Van Steenbergen on bass, and Frank Coens on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
