Popes of Chillitown play ska/dub/punk with a progressive edge. Impossible to tie down and with enough energy to power a small city, their songs drag you through punk, two-tone, rock, hip-hop, reggae, drum & bass, dub, metal and more. The latest album Take A Picture (out June 2023) is a genre-denying melée of energetic, fiercely catchy and immersive songs, bringing together all the diverse influences in the band.
A ska-trip through punkland, happyvalley, mountain of jazz, swingfield & trashlane!!
In our longlasting tradition of putting up great skabands (Silly Snails, Dirty Bees, Skarbone 14,...) from Skallonia, we are back with another gem, called Super Hérisson. Geat ready for their ska, punk, world music mish mash!
A longtime loyal Rock 'n Load Concerts servant, spining the dub, ska, reggae decks before, between and shortly after the bands!
Relapsing ska/reggae addicts who are back for more afterparty skanking!
Dit nieuwgebakken kersverse nu nog onbekend duo-dj-gespan Dj Michelangeloe weigert pertinent Engelstalige korte bioteksten te schrijven en is klaar om de wereld te veroveren met hun penetrante opvoering waarin ze naadloos corpulente beats uit de hardcore en thunderdome-scene mixen tot piramidaal gepeperde hardcore-sets. Deze onervaren en prille doch riante dj's worden in de wandelgangen omschreven als aankomende beloften die elke miskende dunk van menig sceptici zullen overdonderen met een demonische compositie. Mental Loewieken's exuberante expertise in de hardere muziekgenres, zich vaardig gemaakt middels jarenlang doorgedreven veldonderzoek in de underground hardcorescene, weet deze harde pulsen te combineren met de malsere invloeden uit de eerste generatie Thunderdome-oorden, ontsproten uit de jeugdbiotoop van Boom Boom Michel, die met zijn muziekkennis beide subgenres mee kan harmoniseren. Dit Aalsters koppel laat menig muziekliefhebbers van het laatste uur daveren uit hun Nike Air Maxen met een oorstrelende bombarie die elke dansvloer omtovert tot een herschapen early gabber rave.
