They tear through your heart like a plough, fuelled by post-punk. Turning over the soil, breaking things open. The perfect act to lay the groundwork for everything that follows at the Bea. Angular riffs. Surging energy. A touch of melancholy that lingers. What started as a bunch of friends jamming has grown into a band that sings your existential crisis like it’s a party anthem. Their debut Compare What’s There hits hard but stays vulnerable. Live, they’re sweaty, raw, and refreshingly unpolished. No pitchforks. Just sharp edges.
Firmly rooted in Groningen’s music scene and shaped by a deep love of shoegaze and indie rock. Vanity Box weaves dreamy layers of guitar with bittersweet vocal harmonies. Their debut album Good Luck, See You Friday is a testament to what tradition can become in the right hands. A slow-burn support act that doesn’t play it safe. As haunting as it is heartfelt.
Dutch punk from Leeuwarden, straight down your throat. With a chain-smoking hamster as their loyal mascot, this foursome can take on anything. Inspired by bands like The Chats, Ploegendienst and Hang Youth, they create chaos with a hint of perfectionism. They released their debut EP DIY-style, including a release party at Mukkes where hamster plushies flew through the crowd. FO BURBÖN is loud and impossible to tame. Like a hamster in a wheel. On speed.
