WASTE makes noise. Lots of noise. The Antwerp–Aarschot band blends noise, grunge, and dark post-punk into an intense, uncompromising sound, with manic vocals, driving drums, heavy basslines, and screaming guitars.

In March 2026, their debut album 'SCREAM UNTIL IT’S BEAUTIFUL' will be released, recorded by Tim De Gieter (Amenra, Doodseskader). Loud, danceable, and experimental, punk and noise remain at the core, but other boundaries completely dissolve. They’ll be premiering this brand-new slice of chaos live at their album release show in Trix!

The first single, ‘Get Up’ (out 14 November 2025), offers a first taste of that sound. The track is about falling and getting back up, even when life hits you hard in the face. About freezing, losing everything, and learning to move again, even when you’d rather curl up in a corner and cry.
Pull your shit together. Pull your life together. Get up.

RONKER is dripping with sweat and nineties guitar riffs. Their music straight up punches you in the face. Life is complicated enough as is, so RONKER looks for simplicity. With one foot in the ramblings of the nineties and another in the echos of the eighties, the band consciously balances between extremes. Blackened post-punk gaze for Nine Inch Nails fans, or indie metal? Whatever it might be RONKER mainly is a band you have to experience live. Loads of sweat, no bullshit.
