Bloc Party’s landmark debut 'Silent Alarm' initially earned them comparisons to Gang Of Four. Subsequently however, Kele Okereke and his companions skyrocketed above the competition, becoming one of the finest bands inhabiting this floating space rock. Part of Bloc Party’s success can be attributed to their stubborn refusal to divert to nostalgia, with records dauntlessly exploring territories like dance music, synth pop and hip hop. Even after several break-ups and Okereke’s ventures into electronic music, Bloc Party hasn’t deterred from excelling in their gyrating indie rock blitz. Have a listen to 5th album 'Hymns', released last week! (bij Best Kept Secret Festival)
They’ve only released four songs as of yet, but their no-nonsense swagger conducted in tracks like 'Parking Lot' prove the British foursome VANT to be already utterly irresistible. In 2014, singer Mattie Vant started the band to play straightforward indie, punk and garagerock with his fellow band members. So far, they’ve been more than successful, for example at this year’s Eurosonic-Noorderslag showcase festival in Groningen, where they’ve let people queue up to the infamous Martini tower. And believe us, that’s quite the queue. With obvious influences such as Nirvana and Weezer, VANT are the post-grungers of the 21st century. By the way, should you want to know where their chunky guitar sound comes from? They double-tracked a vacuum cleaner. Yes, really. So forget what you were doing, grab a beer and start jumping. Because VANT! (bij Best Kept Secret Festival)

We’re still scratching our heads why Yelawolf didn’t achieve bona fide superstardom after launching his brilliant mixtape 'Trunk Muzik' and debut LP 'Radioactive' on Eminem’s Shady Records. Obviously, the heavily tattooed MC from Alabama got played a different hand, which ultimately led to making his chronicled masterpiece 'Love Story'. In hindsight, this allowed Yelawolf to transform himself into an entirely different beast, as 'Love Story' stretches far beyond the hip hop’s peripheries, reconciling rap music with Yelawolf’s fondness for country, Southern rock and blues.
