Artist History I'm not sure when it started... Was it when Chris and Maarten were producing up-tempo tunes somewhere in a rehearsal poolhouse? Was it when Bert joined them both and added some more depth and gave them the required medication to slow them down? Perhaps it was when Koen was brought back a second time to introduce to them something that's called rhythm and some random perversions. It might not even have occurred then, maybe it was some months later, after tuning all their individual styles and crafting it into one, that they found out they had the power to create melodies that cling to the brains and leave listeners singing along. But sing along to what? So the next logical step in the process was to search someone capable of grasping melodies, someone able to interpret the lyrics that Bert writes, as well as writing lyrics himself. Lyrics that people can relate to, about love and heartbreak , about depression and direction,... In Frits, they found the right person for the job, locked up in Chris' car, after a feeble attempt to steal it, incited by some movie featuring Angelina Jolie. But instead of turning him in, they decided to let him sing, completely unaware of the fact that he possessed the harmonies that can make people doubt over lifetime convictions. A diabolical force that had to be applied for a good cause, or a punkrockband. He preferred the latter… and the band was complete... with one goal...(getting laid, making money, selling out, making music, not having to work, ...) ...or another. But the justified means to reach it!
