Coming to Antwerp for the first time the Dr. Martens Stand For Something Tour Europe will be showcasing incredible local acts alongside an as yet to be announced UK act. Local heroes School Is Cool will be taking to the stage at Trix, for a show not to be missed. The five piece group cite influences as diverse as The Pixies, Kate Bush and Bruce Springsteen and combine with 18th century orchestral music and tribal percussion to create a sound like no other. With the band describing their genre as ‘New Weird Europe’ they are one of the most exciting and original bands in the country.  

They’ll be supported by lo-fi garage rockers Double Veterans, whose psychedelic barrage of tunes is not to be missed. The three piece have been building quite the name for themselves having shared stages with the likes of post punk legends Wire and hardcore punks turned Bad Seed-esque rockers Iceage.

School is Cool

 

 

After 2017's Good News, School is Cool returned this year with their aptly titled fourth album: Things That Don't Go Right. Because most things just go wrong, especially in 2020. The adventurous record is inspired by nostalgic classic rock, with many two-part guitar lines, big synth riffs and loud choruses. However, their love for pop music remains a central point.

For De Fakkel Live, frontman Johannes Genard and violinist Michaël Lamiroy will take the stage together for what will definitely be a unique School is Cool set.

Turbowolf uk

Turbowolf is a hard rock band founded in Bristol, UK whose members include Chris Georgiadis (Vocals / Synth), Andy Ghosh (Guitar), Lianna Lee Davies (Bass) & Blake Davies (Drums). They released their debut album (titled Turbowolf) on 11 November 2011 on Hassle Records. Prior to releasing their debut album, Turbowolf spent several years developing their musical style in a series of UK tours and shows with the likes of The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Computers, Pulled Apart by Horses & Dinosaur Pile-Up. In 2010 they also toured Europe with Korn & Dimmu Borgir. The band have also been very active on the festival circuit clocking up performances at Download, Sonisphere, Lovebox, Great Escape, SXSW, Boardmasters & Hevy amongst others. Shortly after signing to Hassle Records in June 2011, Turbowolf released A Rose for the Crows as their first single. The video, directed by Stephen Agnew, was previewed exclusively on Kerrang! magazine's website. The second single Read & Write featured a heavily psychedelic video (also directed by Stephen Agnew), which was premiered on NME magazine's website. An EP titled 'Covers EP Vol 1' featuring cover versions of these 4 songs: 1. See Through Head – The Hives 2. Electric Feel – MGMT 3. Captain Caveman – Lightning Bolt 4. Somebody To Love – Jefferson Airplane/The Great Society was released in October 2012. In April 2014 Turbowolf unleashed a new single, Solid Gold, which was available as a free download on Kerrang! magazines website and also hosted the accompanying video. On October 27, 2014, they announced their release date of their second album entitled "Two Hands" (April 6th, 2015) and released their album cover and full track listing for the record in late-January 2015. In October 2014, they released a brand new single entitled 'Rabbits Foot' which was supported by BBC Radio 1 as it achieved their rockest record of the week and the track appeared on many of the radio station's daytime shows, making it Turbowolf's most listened to song as of 2014. A music video for this was released later on in autumn. The band also announced a tour with Death From Above 1979 and another headlining tour with bands including 'Hyena' and 'Dolomite Minor' around December in the same year also. Turbowolf released their new album 'Two hands' on Spotify on the 7th of April 2015. Turbowolf also have noted that they are already working on a new album named 'Quell: The Ever Changing Sorcerer of Past, Present & Future' which is noted to be released when the next solar eclipse takes place. The media have so far struggled to categorise the band's music, partly due to their diverse influences. However, their sound contains elements of rock & roll, psychedelia, heavy metal, punk rock and electronica. Read more on Last.fm.
