Guitar, percussion, synths and a healthy dose of soul-searching is everything Iguana Death Cult needs for their most recent resurrection. On the brand new ‘Guns Out’, the 010 based band makes a return to their earlier ‘in-your-face’, melodic garage-rock-roots, with a newfound softness and introspection. Expect razorsharp riffs and synths, relentless drums and hefty vocals. Contemplating escapism and and the toll that way of living takes on the self – we’re in.

Texoprint first meets at the Herman Brood Academy – back then, known as ‘the noise boys’. There, they work on their own material. Over the years they grow together, both on and off stage and off, into a serious force of noise-rock. DIY ethic included. In a furious haze of reverb, noise, jagged guitar textures, and melancholic and intense lyrics, hide carefully crafted songs with personal, critical, and cynical themes.
It results in their most recent work, ‘Modern Living’. No-nonsense and multilayered, the album deals with themes from crypto-bros to conspiracy theorists. It nets the group a 3voor12 award nomination.
The best opposition against facism is unionizing. With their multilingual, socially conscious lyrics, polyphonic panic attacks and frankly obscene saxophone work, GraafLandgraaf envisions their ideal society. One in which the voice of protest always reaches tender hearts.
Their live performance balances raw energy and thoughtful introspection. Elements from alternative rock, Dutch indie and post-punk blend together into their signature mix of the political and the personal.
