Urban and warm, influenced by Dither, Scorn, 2nd Gen, Hint, Enio Moricone and all suicide lullabies, since 1997, SONIC AREA mixes electro hybrid experimental, cinematic orchestral atmospheres, dirty hip-hop, tribal industrial techno-punk, brutal wall of sounds, hard-glitch breaks and lush ambient soundscapes. Disturbing, unexpectable and darkly intoxicated.

Hervé et Arnaud ont créé HINT en 1993 à Angers et ont fait leur premier
concert en avril 1994, il y a 30 ans… Hint de s’est jamais éteint, le groupe
alternant des périodes de concerts et des périodes de sommeil, au gré
des envies…

À l’occasion de cet « anniversaire », Hint reprend la route, comme à chaque fois, juste pour le plaisir de se retrouver ensemble sur scène pour rejouer sa musique en dehors des modes et des codes, et de retrouver la ferveur du public, fidèle depuis 3 décennies.

Founded in 1994 by the Masson brothers, Pneumatic Head Compressor, one of the oldest metal-electronic-industrial-noisy band in Belgium is still there to bring the chaos on stage..
« Their Music is somewhere between Meshuggah and Godflesh »
With destructured, heavy, tortured music and a confusion of original tones, strange noises, shouts and atypical singings, P.H.C. surprises by the originality and diversity of its repertoire.
As a matter of fact, PHC’s intense compositions are the result of a long maturation process (the group finds it funny to call it a putrefaction process).
Let’s we forget, the fraternal duo has been involved in Magasin 4 for a long time. As one of the last fortresses of alternative music in Brussels, it is fair to say they had a lot on their plate; one might even wonder when these DIY aficionados —who record, mix and create their artwork by themselves—have found the time to share the stage with bands such as Godflesh, Zu, Pound, OvO, Hint, La Muerte, Mr Marcaille, Zeni Geva, Punish Yourself, Le Singe Blanc and many more….
Throughout the PHC’s Music we find the dense, uncompromising, unstructured and pounding music Pneumatic Head Compressor cherish: oppressive, tortuous grooves, raging lyrics and… well… ape-like vocalizations put into a shaker with industrial, metal, hardcore, doom, electronic and experimental sounds. A harsh man/machine duel that sums them up pretty well.
The brothers’ desire to make the listener jump into dark, murky waters and to keep him breathless until the end of the listening experience is remarkable.

 [ P.U.T ] , 2 brothers, living in Paris / Brussels, who making since 1998, a mix of machines vs guitares, noise, sludge-metal, industrial and punk to create a music borrows madness, emotion, heaviness and anger. Personal and without concessions, their 5 albums, 8 maxis, 2 live, 7" and various sound experiments, does not disavow their influences (of Godflesh, Killing joke, Sonic Youth while passing by Scorn or Unsane) the band intrigues at the most point. It's on stage which the band reveal is power, making same noise than a 4-5 piece musicians…. intense, raw, dirty, disturbing... More than 170 shows in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Swiss, Czech rep. and Germany.   they have play with: SCORN (uk), Ufomammut (it), Akimbo (USA), Burning Heads, Year of No light, Altar of plague (gb), Ultraphallus (be), Anorak, Pneumatic Head Compressor (Be), Membrane, K-Branding (Be), Io Monade (It), Kapitain Korsakov (be), Lab°, Last Minute to Jaffna (it), Grant National (De), Grrzzz, Lucky Funeral (gr), Black Bomb A, Muckrackers, René Binamé, PPZ30, Punish Yourself, Sungrazer (Nl), LTNo, Comity, Zenzile, Tamtrum, Edwood Jr, General Lee and many others!
