VI.BE

VAAG is a (post)punk outfit out of Kortrijk/Ghent, consisting of 4 longtime friends with a long background in hardcore punk and who have been playing in various bands (such as HAEMERS, HITCH, VVOVNDS, HESSIAN, SUPERGENIUS, etc..)

They started the band from a common love for all things postpunk, new/no wave, bleak UK 80ies punk and French OI!

We'd like to think we're putting the 'punk' back in postpunk. :)

VAAG is another band that springs from the fertile grounds of the Kortrijk aka “K-Town underground” scene that is based around long time running punk & DIY venue The Pit’s. (Cfr also : Freddie & the Vangrails, Crucified, Haemers, Chiff Chaffs, Onrust, Videotrauma, Röt Stewart, etc).

In may '24 Vaag released its debut 12" EP 'Paniek!' on Eat Dust Records + all platforms including an exclusive 'Bled Dry' remix by Bert Libeert aka B1980 (aka drummer of Goose). The tape version was released on the ICOULVEBEENAKILLER imprint of Kristof Mondy (ex-Amenra, Burning Kross, Flux, ...)

In April 2025 a second 12" EP called 'Rauw' was released on the Eat Dust imprint on 12" vinyl + digital.

FFO : DIÄT, CRISIS, WIPERS, BLITZ, EAGULLS, HOLOGRAMS, HOME FRONT.
