De Brassers - De Brassers
Review by Milly Vanderwood
De Brassers' self-titled album is a must-listen for anyone interested in Belgian post-punk. The band's mix of punk rock and new wave influences is evident throughout the album, creating a unique sound that is both raw and refined.
The album opens with "En Toen Was Er Niets Meer", a moody track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. De Brassers' lyrics are often dark and introspective, with themes of isolation and angst prevalent throughout.
Tracks like "Kontrole" and "Twijfels" showcase the band's punk rock roots, with fast-paced guitar riffs and aggressive vocals. "Sommige Mensen" is a standout track, with its haunting melody and eerie atmosphere.

Mag het licht aan?
Mooi document. Wel zonde dat dit nummer de meeste aandacht heeft gekregen, want de Brassers hebben nog meer beklijvend werk.
Dit blijft goed! Ik was nog te jong, maar geeft dit nummer niet perfect de sfeer van de tijd (en de streek) waarin het gemaakt was weer?
Hamont Rules.
