BITTERSHADE
You hear thunder rumbling, and know lightning is about to strike. The way you feel when you’re about to hear the song that plays at the tragic final scene of a movie. Defined by sharp guitar riffs, heavy dissonance and big dynamic changes. Combine all of that with a sea of ambience and you get Bittershade. Our sound consists mostly of gloomy alternative rock and ambient grunge, yet we don’t shy away from the occasional pop rock!

We originated as a band to help our vocalist audition for music schools, and have now transformed into a young band excited to strike the world with our music!
Sunday Kids
After years of playing, writing, recording, rewriting, and re-recording, this legendary Amsterdam band is finally presenting their long-awaited third album: Traveler. But it’s worth the wait because, according to them, this record comes the closest to who they truly are.
Since their meeting in an obscure basement bar in Hamburg in 2013, they’ve played as much as possible to convince audiences of their contemporary take on “rootsy garage rock ‘n roll.” Their first full-length album, titled Twang Wolf Sessions (2013, Undertow Recordings), came out of this, named after the famed studio of their musical friend and producer Hans Hannemann, where the record was recorded.
Their second album, Sweet One (2015, Suburban Records), followed and became a smarter, more mature, and more diverse record, with a sound that at times feels psychedelic, while at other moments takes a turn towards garage or surf.
Since then, they’ve achieved a lot: a successful tour in England, their music featured in commercials for Ajax and Grolsch, performances in iconic venues like Paradiso and Melkweg, opening for greats like Beth Hart (HMH), a coveted minute on De Wereld Draait Door, and countless shows. From bars and gritty basements to big stages and festivals, they rocked every venue.
Once again inspired by American artists like Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop, they also drew more from the music of their own youth in the ’90s. The influences of bands like dEUS, Soulwax, and The Pixies are clearly audible. With 10 new songs coming out soon these guys are ready to rock every venue again!
