Fuzz You!
Of all the world class albums released by Dutch bands this month, the one that truly surprised me is by a band called Hospital Bombers. The main reason I was surprised is that I had never before heard of this band from Amsterdam, even though they apparently played at SXSW way back in 2008. The [...]
Could the Maya’s have been right? Are major changes coming to the world in 2012? It certainly seems so, what else can explain the fact that the best releases in the first weeks of the new year are not from the US, not from the UK, no not even from Canada (sorry guys) or Belgium, but from [...]

In oktober stond het tweede album van deze Amsterdamse formatie op nummer 1 in OOR’s moordlijst. De vraag is of we te maken hebben met goedbedoeld chauvinisme of dat Never be scared echt zo goed is. Het antwoord ligt (uiteraard) in het midden. NbS/DbaH is een fris on-Nederlands indiealbum met invloeden uit de jaren zestig. [...]
