Doodseskader - Tim de Gieter en Sigfried Burroughs (2024)
Doodseskader is een Belgisch duo bestaande uit Tim de Gieter (Amenra) en Sigfried Burroughs (Kapitan Korsakov) met een genre-overstijgende mix van sludge, doom, hardcore, metal en industrial hiphop. Onder het motto "Harde tijden vereisen harde muziek" begint de band tijdens de COVID lockdowns met experimenteren en al snel volgt hun debuut EP 'MMXX: Year Zero' (2020). Met hun zelfomschreven sonische terreur en genaadeloos oprechte teksten, zowel bruut als kwetsbaar, zoekt het duo de grenzen op van wat het betekent om harde muziek te maken. Onlangs bracht de band hun tweede langspeler 'Year Two' (2024) uit en wij spraken beide heren over het album, hun diepgaande vriendschap, niets willen verbloemen, door negatieve gedachten heen worstelen, mens mogen zijn, vechtlust en nog veel meer!

The Snuts - Joe McGillveray (2024)
Joe McGillveray is the guitarist for Scottish indie rock band The Snuts. After generating a grassroots following with the success of a few self-released singles, the band signed with Parlophone and released their debut album 'W.L.' (2021) to great acclaim and claimed the top spot in both the British and Scottish album charts. The follow up album 'Burn the Empire' did almost as well, peaking at the third spot, but it became clear that the band wasn't on the same page with their label. So for their latest album 'Millennials' the band went back to their independent roots. We spoke with Joe about the new album, TRNSMT festival, the early days of the band, having their debut album reach the number one spot, taking creative control back and a lot more!
