Le Prince Harry

After a relative rest for the two Liège heads, it is time to get back to business. And this business requires four hands to play, very rapidly, and two ears, to be listened to very loudly. Trapped in a frantic chase on a Belgian highway, finally on a slope, this time, we are missing the brakes… and avoiding the famous ruts is imperative for survival.
So here we are, grazing the slide in a shower of magnificent sparks, while being hit by these ten punchy pieces releasing a crazy energy. Even if the forays towards EBM become more and more pop (if we can use that word here), Punk becomes always more synthetic, Kraut is percussive and martial, but with PRINCE HARRY, it's a long time that the Indus has been moving very fast: at 140bpm on the emergency lane.
"A Long Way Down" is the fourth LP from the Belgian duo to find asylum on the Parisian label. After 5 years of discretion - almost absence - this curious pink album propels us to the unthinkable frontiers of electronic punk, lo-fi EBM and garage new-beat.

LANDROSE (BE) PUNK / DRUMS / BEAT
Landrose

DON VITO (DE) NOISE / NOISE ROCK
Don Vito

DON VITO sounds like getting a beating from a ball lightning, or, as someone said: "They play like children in a sandbox, with a sound like a Minuteman landing on an aircraft carrier platform, and the musical understatement of a Chicago jazz band." (Lutz Schramm, Paroptikum, Germany)

Stakattak

Stakattak is the wild Belgian trash-pop trio! They’ve co-released three albums — No Exit (2020), Decoy (2021), This Real (2023) — with several independent labels from Belgium, the Netherlands, and France (Rockerill Records, Love Mazout, Stadskanker, Bagdaddy Records, Do It Youssef, Les Clampins d’Abord, Hyperjungle). Expect stripped-down songs and explosive shows in a minimalist setting. With drums, vocals, and guitar, they warp reality into a contagious journey. Welcome!
STAKATTAK has performed at Micro Festival (Liège), Beurs / Recyclart / VK / Botanique (Brussels), and did a tour in Switzerland in spring 2025...

VAAG (BE) POST PUNK / NO WAVE
Vaag

VAAG is a (post)punk / no wave outfit out of Kortrijk/Ghent, consisting of 4 friends with a long background in hardcore & punk and who have been playing in various bands (such as HAEMERS, HITCH, VVOVNDS, HESSIAN and SUPERGENIUS to name a few).
They started the band from a common love for all things 80ies postpunk, bleak UK Punk and OI! and New/No wave …. We’d like to think we’re putting the PUNK back in POSTPUNK. ;-)
VAAG is another band that springs from the fertile grounds of the Kortrijk aka “K-Town underground” scene that is based around long time running punk & DIY venue The Pit’s.
Cfr also : Freddie & the Vangrails, Crucified, Haemers, Chiff Chaffs, Videotrauma, Onrust, Röt Stewart, etc.
