VI.BE

Iedere week gooien we een aantal nieuwe vi.be-tracks in onze eclectische playlist van 22 parels-om-te-ontdekken. Het trio gelukkigen bestaat deze keer uit een noiseband, een hiphopcollectief en een indierockband. We hadden er het volgende over te zeggen (in het Engels):

Luftwaffe Locomotive

As you might know by know, we at Poppunt love ourselves some noise rock. Flavour of the month is Luftwaffe Locomotive, a nihilistic three-piece from Hasselt. The song ‘Made In Taiwan’, with lyrics like “I’m made in Japan” and “I’m made out of plastic”, very quickly makes clear what kind of band this is. It’s the stuff fans of acts like Shellac and Kapitan Korsakov will appreciate.

Team Marmalade

After the label mates Fatty K, Baz, Don Luca, Roncha, JEF and Wits from Marmalade Productions went on a weekend together, the idea was born to make music together. The result is a first label compilation called ‘Bosbessen Marmalade’, consisting of 14 strong tracks of Dutch-spoken hip hop. As can be heard on the track ‘Ach Ja’, the laid-back, bass-heavy beats go perfectly together with the smart stories these MCs have to tell.

The Insect Soldiers Of The Sky

The Insect Soldiers Of The Sky is four-piece from Limburg that creates catchy indie rock. Consisting of two brothers and two other members, they received some acclaim at the last edition of HUMO’s Rock Rally for their coherent sound. Earlier in 2015 the band released their first EP at the Muziekodroom in Hasselt, filled with strong songs and absurd lyrics about ‘Beetle Robots’ and ‘Drones and Giraffes’.
