To have some extra input here for a local community, let’s share some Belgian music tips! Classics that everyone should know, obscure gems, your own creations,…
Try to limit yourself to like one song per artist 😉 but I’m not the boss of you
70s punk rock and roll: The Kids or Red Zebra
Clement Peerens Explosition is also worth a mention.
Absynthe Minded - Heaven Knows
Did you listen to the new one: Kaat Van Stralen - Ik Weet Hoe Het Werkt. Damn it’s good.
She’s amazing. I’ve witnessed her emerging at Het Depot - Leuven and enjoyed every part of it. She has a strong message, a powerfull delivery and somehow it feels like she instantly and rightfully claims her presence in the Belpop hall of fame. Like she’s always been there. Such a presence.
This is a tough one, I’ve been racking my brain the whole day. In the end I’ve settled on Sardonis - Nero d’Avola
I see my ListenBrainz disagrees: De Mens - Jeroen Brouwers Schrijft Een Boek, and Pepe - Aan U De Keus
De Mens certainly opened my eyes for Flemish rock.
Any similar acts you recommend? Besides Belgian Asociality and Channel Zero, not much comes to mind. Gauging from the releases list of Music Mania store in Ghent, there is quite a vibrant scene that’s passing me by, but I’m very picky, so always open to recommendations if you have any!
Is it me or does theslle reply indicatie o more Flemish orientated presence in this ‘sub’.
Possibly, but feel free to add more Walloon content!
