A national triple with a seriously loose musical screw
Id!ots
According to Humo, Id!ots – that originates from out of the legendary West-Flemish cult band Ugly Papas – is an “onzalige jamsessie tussen Stone Temple Pilots, Monster Magnet en late ZZ Top”. We get a filthy chunk of rock ’n roll thrown in our face, followed by a big fat middle finger to subtlety and refinement. Their self-titled debut (out on Waste My Records) harbours melodious fuzzy guitars, hard hitting drum parts and the mesmerizing baritone of Luc Dufourmont. “It’s only dirty & filthy rock ’n roll”, they say. “Like a wild dog licking its own nuts”!
The Germans
‘Are Animals Different’ is the title of the fourth longplayer by The Germans, from Ghent. Once again, we may expect an impossible feast full of flipped out psychedelica, moody soundscapes, contrary grooves and mesmerizing singing.
