On Sunday 7 April, we are already on day 3 of BRDCST. Let's shake off the fatigue. Embrace our Sunday raw, beastly and incendiary beats that will ensure a magisterial resurrection. Hold on tight!
CHALK (UK)
Chalk is an Irish, electronic post-punk trio from Belfast. “Muzikaal vissen ze in dezelfde poel als Shame, The Murder Capital en andere Fontaines D.C.’s, maar ze klinken elektronischer en filmischer”, says Dansende Beren. Their debut EP Conditions is brimming with howling guitars, a relentless rhythm section and a raw, deep-rooted spoken word style. Hot tip for 2024!
HOLY TONGUE (VK)
Holy Tongue is the second project Valentina Magaletti brings to BRDCST. Together with producer Al Wootton and Susumu Mukai, she evokes the vibe of the experimental dub of On-U-Sound, 23 Skidoo, Liquid Liquid, and ESG.
BENEFITS (VK)
Anyone looking at the Benefits website immediately knows what they’re all about: “We are benefits | we are a band | we shout”. Their fanbase includes such notorious fans as Steve Albini, Sleaford Mods, and Modeselektor. Geoff Barrow (Portishead) was so impressed that he signed them up to his Invada label right away. Their debut NAILS does hit the nail on the head and will resonate until BRDCST 2025, wanna bet?
PRUILLIP (BE)
Closer to home, we found the explosive duo PRUILLIP: a project by Annelies Van Dinter (Echo Beatty) and Louis Evrard (Grid Ravage). At the invitation of Dennis Tyfus, they played their very first show at De Nor in Middelheim. Their debut - via Cortizona – received immediate accolades: "Sporen van punk, ambient, rock noir en stonergrunge tonen hoe veelzijdig Pruillip is", according to Knack Focus , that also gave the debut four stars. "Het debuut van ‘Pruillip’ grossiert prachtig in een miljoen schakeringen van zwart", wrote Humo, and it also gave the debut three and a half stars at the same time. Also: "Het impressionanante debuut van Pruillip hoort bij de beste Belgische releases van 2023" and is worth four stars, according to De Morgen.
MOIN (VK)
Italian drummer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti has an outright impressive CV. She sat behind the skins with her highly personal percussive approach for the likes of Thurston Moore, Lafawndah, Mica Levi, Kamasi Washington, and Nicolas Jaar. She operates under the flags of Vanishing Twin (already at BRDCST in 2017) and Zongamin. This year she’s a guest of honour at BRDCST and will present two of her most prestigious projects, including the extremely explosive Moin. Pitchfork referred to the trio as reinventors of post-hardcore. VPRO/3voor12 about their visit to Le Guess Who?: “Post-punk, post-hardcore … noem Moin gerust ook post-apocalyptisch. Moin is zenuwslopend… op de allerbeste manier. Voor fans van nineties gitaarbands als Fugazi en Slint!”
