Fleddy Melculy - Dudedeedurtwo

Both the lyrics as the music are awesome.

And in our native language

I'll start with this one: Ghentian jazzy prog-rock from the seventies, Kandahar - Eyes of Glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iV4IhD-kRU

70s punk rock and roll: The Kids or Red Zebra

Clement Peerens Explosition is also worth a mention.

This is a tough one, I've been racking my brain the whole day. In the end I've settled on Sardonis - Nero d'Avola

I see my ListenBrainz disagrees: De Mens - Jeroen Brouwers Schrijft Een Boek, and Pepe - Aan U De Keus

De Mens certainly opened my eyes for Flemish rock.

Any similar acts you recommend? Besides Belgian Asociality and Channel Zero, not much comes to mind. Gauging from the releases list of Music Mania store in Ghent, there is quite a vibrant scene that's passing me by, but I'm very picky, so always open to recommendations if you have any!

Sardonis, where are the days! De Mens is a fixture in my playlists, love 'em!

Did you listen to the new one: Kaat Van Stralen - Ik Weet Hoe Het Werkt. Damn it’s good.

Schlemmy@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 245d

She's amazing. I've witnessed her emerging at Het Depot - Leuven and enjoyed every part of it. She has a strong message, a powerfull delivery and somehow it feels like she instantly and rightfully claims her presence in the Belpop hall of fame. Like she's always been there. Such a presence.

🎷💛🎺 Jaune Toujours - Alles Normaal

"Genre-busting accordion and brass-led brew of rock, chanson, ska, gypsy, latin and Balkan ingredients served up by a high-class posse of the most active musicians on the Brussels music scene’ (the Womex-Guide, october 2009)" (https://jaunetoujours.com/about)

We got to know the music some time ago on holiday in Ostend in the pub ‘Manuscript’ (always good music there).

Damn, thanks for the suggestion. Jaune Toujour is like an artist I didn't knew existed but was longing for.

Is it me or does these replies indicate a more Flemish orientated presence in this 'sub'.

Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 244d

Possibly, but feel free to add more Walloon content!
