From the heart of the Dutch underground, SØWT—Martijn Claessens, Jesse van Eiken, Koen Verhees and Danielle Warners—continue to carve their raw, dynamic sound. After the self-released Junkie’s Boneyard (2018), LP Kids Hurting Kids (2023), and EP Things That Rhyme With Pain (2024), the band now drops their explosive new album Is This The Hard Part? in collaboration with Subroutine and Bagdaddy Records. Following two UK tours and a full EU run supporting grunge icons Mudhoney and Canadian noise-rockers METZ, SØWT proves once again that the hard part is only the beginning.

Grote Geelstaart
Two drummers push the tempo, the bass growls like a jammed machine, and then—suddenly—the noise rock twists into a warped disco beat. Grote Geelstaart drags the audience along for a ride full of sharp turns and wild energy. The Zeeland-based band, always dressed in white shirts and flamboyant ties, has made its mark with shows alongside Marathon, Iguana Death Cult, and RONKER. After singles Barch, Drie Harige Ratten, and Muurvast, the band just released their debut EP Van Reijnst.
