Forget Kawada, here are the Sunday Bell Ringers

Sunday Bell Ringers is the new nom de plume of Joeri Cnapelinckx. The name probably doesn't – uh – ring a bell but this is in fact the reincarnation of the band Kawada, from Brussels. Prior to that, Cnapelinckx was also a member of bands like De Anale Fase and Tommigun. Sunday Bell Ringers effortlessly plays itself into the same musical league as Arcade Fire or Black Heart Procession.
‘Sunday Bell Ringers’ is also the title of the first single from their album. It's to be followed by ‘Like Home’, which was written with Inne Eysermans, the voice of Amatorski. The band will present its debut to press and public during the first Coca-Cola Session of the 2011-2012 season, on Friday 30 September.
We've presented a number of much talked about Coca-Cola Sessions over the past 2 seasons, with sold-out concerts by Customs, Balthazar, The Tellers, Addicted Kru Sound feat. Selah Sue and Intergalactic Lovers. At the end of 2011 it will be the turn of Sunday Bell Ringers and Superlijm, amongst others.

Sir Yes Sir is the brainchild of Tijs Delbeke, multi-instrumentalist and musical glutton from Antwerp who has played with the likes of dEUS and Mauro Pawlowski and currently strengthens the ranks of Dez Mona , Tom Pintens and the like. On their debut EP, Sir Yes Sir (SYS) presents itself as a worthy successor to the aforementioned Belgian rock icons and shows evidence of exceptional inspiration and playing pleasure. Daring songs, intelligent lyrics, smart guitar riffs and dirty synths provide SYS with a solid and recognizable sound, one which should be heard at every festival and in every club. The latest EP can be downloaded via www.siryessir.be. This summer they sat in the studio for a few live-sessions from which the following clip was made.
