ARNHEM PUNKFEST Vol.10
After a few very successful editions in Luxor, it is now up to Café Bosch to host the next edition of Punkfest. Prepare yourself for some legendary bands:
NEUK! (NL)
Dutch hardcore-punk band with Dutch raps. They were very well known in a very small underground hardcore hiphop scene in the Netherlands in the end of the 90ties. Their live concerts were very powerful and energetic. The band started in 1995, released three albums and quit in 2006.
Later in 2007 they gave a reunion show and in 2008 confirmed they were going to perform more often, even hinting at new recordings. In 2016 the band released their fourth album. While performing live occasionally, 5 new tracks were recorded in the zwarte molen studio in the fall of 2019. This resulted in the digital release of the EP “Ongeregeld Heden”.
SCRAPS (FR)
Scraps was a Anarcho/punk band from Lille, France; they formed in mid 1980's, their sound was a mixture of japcore and hardcore. They were around until the mid 1990's, with a few vinyl releases "Apartheid" 7" in 1986 (Aaltrack), Aaargh" 7" in 1987 (Aaltrack), a flexi split w Don Don in 1989 (MCR Company), "Wrapped up in this society" LP in 1990 (Be Your Self Recs), "Crush Europe '92 (7", 1992, Ammunition Recs), "Dismantle the Machine One Cog Each Time" LP in 1994 (X-Mist Recs), split 7" with Atentat Sonore in 1995 (Panx Production).
PLAGUE THIRTEEN (BE) --> CANCELLED
Plague Thirteen plays heavy and sludgy crust that leans towards the more melancholic spectrum. The band is active since 2019 and band members have played in LINK and Sore.
NEUROOT (NL)
Patriarchs of Dutch D-beat 'betonpunk' (Johan van Leeuwen, Koekrand fanzine) since 1980 and standard-bearers to this day. While bands started playing faster and faster in the 1980s, Neuroot was mainly 'heavy'. They received a lot of international attention with their Right is Might EP, which was released on the influential US label Pusmort (of Metallica designer Pushead, among others) and their many performances at home and abroad. House band of the Goudvishal Arnhem, where bassist and current lead singer Marcel was one of the founders and driving forces. After an initial restart in the 2000s, the band is ready for (yet another) new life!
CHAUFFEUR (NL)
This tough duo from Arnhem knows how to shake a tent to its foundations. With only bass, drums and vocals, the low tones scream through your body. With a combination of grunge, stoner and post-hardcore they create dynamic, raw music!
DJ VLEERTJE
From oldschool goth and batcave to newschool witchhouse with a big love of industrial/EBM classics. DJ Vleertje plays it all!
