20u: THE SONIC REDEMPTION
A Punk & Roll trio as a P&R trio should be: fat, filthy, exciting, and no bullshit. A perfect blend of primitive Rock & Roll with old school Punk Rock. A well-aimed fist on the chin combined with a delightful tingling in the groin.
The Sonic Redemption is the new band led by former Southern Voodoo frontman Dominique De Vos. A few years ago, the Voodoo's built quite a European reputation with their infamous live band. (hun albums werden indertijd bejubeld door onder meer Oor, Aardschok, Rock Tribune, het Britse Classic Rock magazine en dergelijke meer). Additionally, De Vos also played with the Speedrock'n'roll crazies of Motorcity Angels and Buzzkill Baby.
Still just as tempestuous and charismatic, pure passion is the ultimate driving force. To set the stage ablaze, De Vos surrounded himself with two super talented young guns (Jelle De Vos: guitar and Bram Decrock: drums), who, under the motto "full speed ahead," are hardly able to be kept on a leash!
Influences: Dead Boys, Motörhead, Ramones, The Replacements, Dr. Feelgood, Chuck Berry, The Hellacopters, Social Distortion, …
Style: A Punk & Roll trio as a P&R trio should be: fat, filthy, exciting, and no bullshit. A perfect blend of primitive Rock & Roll with old school Punk Rock. A well-aimed fist to the chin combined with a delightful tingling in the groin.
Extra: Their debut EP is an ode to the Ramones! In the sense that each song was played at exactly the same tempo as the first seven songs on the Ramones' debut album. To make it even more exciting, those seven songs are also written in the same key.

21u: STEREOSEAT
What do Belgian bands Kenji Minogue, Vive La Fête, Absynthe Minded and Pink Room have in common? Not a lot at first sight. Unless…
It all started in Ghent (Belgium) back in 2013, as a studio project by songwriter Tom Van Dorpe (Chrome Yellow) and sound wizard/engineer Sergej Van Bouwel (Absynthe Minded).
They pulled out all the stops and lifted their live performances to another level, together with guitarist David Van Glabeke (Kenji Minogue) and drummer David Van Belleghem (Delavega).
Over the years they became a scouring yet atmospheric rock band.
Their style changed in 2018 with the arrival of second keyboard player Maarten De Meyer (Vive La Fête) and drummer Jelle Lefebvre (Pink Room, Celestial Wolves). Guitars are tuned as if they were synths, synths as if they are guitars. Twisted as hell.
Stereoseat proves guitar music is not only relevant in 2024 but can still be innovative too. Over the years, the band has built up a broad fan base with their strong energetic live shows. Their first album 'Safety Car Crash' already dates back to the end of 2015 and all songs were unmistakably Stereoseat.
They’ve upped their game and a second album, ‘Heavenly Creatures’, released by Lacienda Records, hit the nightlights on february 5, 2020.
That album includes riffs ‘Millionaire’ forgot to write and choruses ‘QOTSA’ has yet to come up with, and the likes of ‘Porcupine Tree’ and ‘Girls Against Boys’ also arguably filtered through their songwriting proces.
As of now, preproduction has started on a promising new album for 2025 and recordings will start soon.
