The sounds of 2020 TEXT: BAS VAN DUREN
A new year means new music, and we are looking forward to all the artists from the Benelux that are bound to make a splash in 2020. Whether you are into pounding rock bands, suave rappers or amazing vocalists, here are nine names to look out for in the upcoming months. SONS If you like your guitars rowdy, punchy and with a twist of psychedelia, try Belgian band SONS (yes, all caps, all the time). Four young guns from Melsele bonded over their love for skateboarding and punk rock and it was a matter of course before they picked up an instrument. SONS toured all across the continent and have released the album Family Dinner — mashing a punk ethos with a love for seventies hard rock music, topped with exquisite guitar solos. 40 | Issue 73 | January 2020
