Editor's note

Kadanz, the Dutch band with Huub van der Lubbe's voice

A steady lineup since 1987, anchored by van der Lubbe's vocals and Slijhuis's keyboards.

For a good sense of their range, try 'Kristal' and 'Hou Me Vast'. They're both pretty representative of what this band does.

They've been making music together since the late '80s, and that consistency shows. Songs like 'Kristal' and 'Hou Me Vast' move between straightforward rock and more atmospheric territory without losing their identity. Van der Lubbe's lyrics and delivery have always been the center of it all.

They formed in the Netherlands in 1987 and put out their debut album two years later. '1958 (Niemand Ging Dood)' from that record became a hit at home. The core members have mostly stayed involved, which has kept their sound recognizable through the years.
