RELEASE DATE

2023 repress. Third edition of 500 copies on splatter black-and-white vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.
De Brassers
were one of the most notorious bands in the Belgian new wave/punk history. With their no-nonsense attitude they scared the shit out of the local catholic community of Hamont. De Brassers were a local mixture of the
Sex Pistols
(in the lowest gear) and
Joy Division
(they always performed a cover version of Joy Division's "Shadowplay"), combining a criticism of bureaucracy and politics with experiences of psychological and existential tensions. The doomed sound they produced tells a lot about the dark atmosphere of the late seventies and early eighties: the fear of atomic bombs, cold war pessimism, police violence against squatters, the first cases of AIDS, and the grim years of
Reagan
and
Thatcher
. This compilation takes you back to that time. All tracks from their first 7″
En Toen Was Er Niets Meer
and their self-titled 12″, plus rare and unreleased tracks taken from various live performances and the cassette
Levend
. If you're in for a raw slice of Belgian history let de Brassers immerse you in a cold wave of punk.
