OUR LINE-UP IS COMPLETE!

We love it when a plan comes together: line-up = ☑! Mozes and the Firstborn, Pip Blom and Crows fill in the blank spots. 

As they’re nearing that venerable decade-mark, Eindhoven’s Mozes and The Firstborn have experienced all the strange motions of being rock lifers. The quartet came out of the gates swingin’ with bona fide anthem I Got Skills, were signed to Burger Records for their self-titled debut, and achieved new melancholic depths on the nineties rock-indebted sophomore LP Great Pile Of Nothing. Latest Mozes album Dadcore offers wry meditations on aging, sainthood after death and getting lost in the supermarket. And most of all, its a love letter to being in a band, the coolest band in The Netherlands no less. 

The brilliant, disquieted guitar pop of Pip Blom almost seem to manifest in a stream-of-consciousness fashion. The Dutch quartet’s anthemic punchy sound lives between scorching indie rock and contagious Britpop, as Pip expresses everyday observations with an unfeigned and cunning poise. Charming, passionate and effortlessly good. Pip Blom was recently signed by Heavenly Recordings, the icing on the cake of a fruitful year, in which the foursome performed with indie heavyweights The Breeders, Franz Ferdinand, and Garbage.

Crows’ guttural brand of post-punk and noise rock relishes in its sheer blunt force, mystique and magnetism. Safety definitely isn’t James Cox and friends’ forte: their music is both claustrophobic and hard-hitting, a punishment akin to being stuck in revolving doors made of reinforced steel. Though the towering presence of Cox oozes deep inner anguish and paranoia, there’s always a palpable warmth as well, making every Crows show feel like it's us against the world.

As if we weren't psyched enough already. Loose Ends, June 23, NDSM Amsterdam.
