THESE GO TO ELEVEN
RATS AND DAGGERS
Een POWERTRIO dat de vlijmscherpe rand tussen heavy en punk op zoekt. Rats and Daggers concentreert de slagkracht van IDLES, de schwung van QOTSA en de schijt-aan-alles attitude van Amyl and The Sniffers tot rappe punkrockprojectielen die de moshpits ter plekke doen aanzwellen. Live zijn zij zowel ontwapenend als exceptioneel expressief en spelen zij met een energie die zo oprecht uit de tenen komt dat zij in een vlammende set ieder een momentele zo nodige toevlucht bieden uit hun dagelijkse sleur.
Eerder dit jaar speelden ze al op Booster Festival en Valkhof Festival en dit jaar sluiten ze af als Never Mind The Hype talent in de Popronde.
KALAALLIT NUNAAT
A train that keeps on going, relentlessly quick and loud. This best describes the group of noise rockers from the Netherlands' harbor city. Fusing shrill, screaming guitar feedback with a primal bass, even more primal drums and the most primal vocals, the group manages to find beauty in noise and simplicity. They've taken their brand of havoc to many venues and festivals in both the Netherlands and Belgium including Left of the Dial, Grasnapolsky, and an EP release in Rotown Rotterdam. The band has already released two EP's, "Television" and their latest "Texoprint". Looking to the future, the trio is working on releasing a set of singles, a new EP and playing many more shows all over Europe.
THE KLITTENS
The Klittens are five musicians on a mission, untrained but unbothered. A band for those who have a knack for happy songs and sad sentiments. Their music is a surprising mix of indie-fuzz and DIY. The result: a repertoire that reaches from dark post-punk to danceable songs about grandma’s.
What initially started as a platform and creative outlet for political ideas, ended up in a group of friends that is growing into a professional band. An adventure that each of the members had always dreamed of, but never dared to make happen. The band members all started out with little to no experience, so every step the band takes is a learning experience. How do you rehearse? What equipment do you need? How do you get gigs? How do you write a song? This DIY approach is what makes The Klittens an unpredictable, but fun group of friends that are ready to experience every new step that they’re taking.
The girls are slowly crawling out of the Amsterdam underground scene: they toured the UK with York’s indie rock band Bull, supported SASAMI and Tacocat, and played shows with Dutch bands such as KIEFF, Lewsberg, Personal Trainer, Pip Blom and global charming.
