Fake news – Brihang – Cut op de set
BRIHANG NEWS - CUT OP DE SET
U kan zich mogelijks nog vaag herinneren dat wij aan het begin van de zomer via deze weg een paar honderd figuranten zochten voor een nieuwe videoclip van Brihang, de grootmeester in het genre. Welnu, die figuranten werden gevonden, dankuwel. Meer nog: die video is intussen én uit sinds vandaag, graag gedaan! En alsof dat nog niet volstond hebben we nog heel erg fijn nieuws over de man zelve, geloof het of niet

Cut op de set, de video
De figuranten die zich toen hadden aangemeld hebben met de eigen ogen kunnen zien welk huzarenstukje de videoclip voor 'Cut op de set' is geworden, voor alle andere stervelingen in deze mailinglijst is het vooralsnog nog gissen naar het eindresultaat. Helaas ontbreekt het ons momenteel aan de tijd om u nog wat langer in suspens te laten, dus bij deze: de onwaarschijnlijk sterke videoclip voor 'Cut op de set'! Ober, voor ons een MIA voor beste muziekvideo 2025 graag.

Cut op de set, de tour
Omdat goed nieuws nooit alleen verschijnt: Brihang laat u graag weten dat hij in het voorjaar van 2026 op tour gaat langs de Vlaamse cc's en theaterzalen. Maar liefst een dertigtal plekken doet hij aan op drie maanden tijd, dus u gaat fameus uit uw pijp moeten komen om hem en zijn magistrale live-show te missen! De volledige tourlijst kan u vinden op zijn website en daar kan u meteen ook tickets kopen. Met dat laatste wacht u trouwens best niet te snel, want de verkoop loopt als een Eurostar.

Cut op de set, het eindpunt
Want na deze tour gaat hij even voor onbepaalde duur terug onder de radar. Geen nieuwe muziek, geen nieuwe muziek, geen mediaverschijningen meer. Even geen Brihang meer, maar gewoon Boudy Verleye die ergens terug een doodnormaal leven probeert te leven. Het weze hem volledig gegund, denken we zo.

V2 records news – The Radar Station – album ‘birds of choice’
THE RADAR STATION Share Two New Tracks
"January Colours" & "Winged Seeds"
ALBUM "BIRDS OF CHOICE"
OUT 12 SEPTEMBER 2025
Sept 25 Fortune Fades - Single by The Radar Station | Spotify
Winged Seeds - Single by The Radar Station | Spotify
January Colours - Single by The Radar Station | Spotify



The Radar Station share new tracks from their upcoming album 'Birds Of Choice', which will be released on September 12 via V2 Records. "Are you the right person in the wrong time and place?" Asks Brent in the first single called 'January Colours'. It's a deeply personal song about depression and the pressure it puts on lovers, family and friends. It's about the balance between accepting help and leaning to heavily on someone without being able to stand on your own two feet.

The second track 'Winged Seeds' is the 8th song on the tracklist and the personal favourite of lead singer Brent Buckler. It's a song that gives away Buckler's admiration for the music of Jason Molina and the poetic writings of Haruki Murakami.

Third single Fortune Fades" is a 21st-century protest song, driven by righteous anger and a restless groove. 
Brent Buckler says: "I wrote the lyrics after witnessing a scene at a café in Brussels, just across from 'het klein kasteeltje', a refugee centre. A young, impeccably dressed woman sipped her cocktail, untouched by the world around her, while dozens of refugees waited in line, sheltering in worn-out one-minute tents. One man, overwhelmed by the injustice, hurled a beer glass and shouted in a language we didn't understand. Later, the police questioned him. She was simply annoyed by the broken glass. But one day, the tables will turn. Our luck will run out. Our fortune will fade."Buckler about the writing process of Birds Of Choice: "I wrote the lyrics after a restless period eating up the better part of my late 20s. A play of coincidence shaped my life, only to wake up realising it all didn't feel right. It was a time of big changes with some old friendships and relationships coming to an end. Birds Of Choice is about looking for what truly matters and taking control of your own path in life."

Birds Of Choice is the follow up to their debut album 'Life Inside A Tornado', which the band released after winning Studio Brussels De Nieuwe Lichting in 2020. After Brent Beukelaere's successful dutch solo album 'Ramen Als Ogen' (2024), a few years of reflection and several late night writing sessions in the south of France, The Radar Station is back! Although there is a gap of five years between the first and second album, there has been passionately worked on 'Birds Of Choice' behind the scenes. The new album is produced by Koen Gisen (The Bony King Of Nowhere, Oscar & The Wolf, Nordmann) and reflects a more mature and straightforward band.

The album's artwork, which encapsulates the mood and themes of Birds Of Choice, was created by Benoit Vangeel, from the pictures of Ilo Meeze, whose style brings a striking visual narrative to the album. *


In the fall of 2025 The Radar Station will take their album on stage, passing by different venues in Belgium. With drummer Robbe Broeckx, bassist Toon Rumen, and percussionist Wes Verschorenrounding out the lineup, The Radar Station has evolved far beyond the band you first heard in 2020. The band is ready to showcase their growth. Whether you're an early fan or just discovering them for the first time, Birds Of Choice will speak to anyone looking for something real, exciting and alive.

Pias news – Archive announce new album ‘glass minds’

Announce details of the release of their new album, Glass Minds.
Released via Dangervisit on 27th February 2026.

Archive - Look At Us (Official Video)
LIVE  31.03.26 - OM - LIEGE, BE

ARCHIVE, the unique, enigmatic and acclaimed collective who formed in Croydon, South London in 1994, have today announced details of their 13th studio album Glass Minds, which is released on Friday 27th February 2026 via the band's own Dangervisit label through [PIAS].

Talking about 'Look At Us', the first single to be lifted from the album, a track which finds the band at their most driven, pounding best, with its insistent guitar rift running throughout, ARCHIVE main man Darius Keeler said:
'Look At Us' is quite simply a banger! With ominous lyrics, which I interpret as a reflection on the truly distorted world we live in, I think it's one of our best singles to date.

The track is accompanied by a visually stunning video directed by Maxim Kelly who said:
The video is a Southern Gothic piece designed to look as authentic as possible through black and white documentary-style cinematography. Since the song explores lies and deception, I wanted the medium itself to embody that theme by making viewers trust the familiar visual language of documentary photography creating a meta-commentary on deception where the medium literally becomes the message.
The track listing of the album, produced by Archive and long term collaborator Jerome Devoise, recorded at Metway Studios, Brighton & Angel Studios, London and mixed at Studio DES, Paris, is as follows.

The album artwork was designed by  Saatchi Gallery collected artist Alaric Hammond:
Broken Bits

Glass Minds

Patterns

Look At Us

When You're This Down

So Far From Losing You

Wake Up Strange

City Walls

The Love The Light

Shine Out Power

Heads Are Gonna Roll

Where I Am

Glass Minds is the follow-up to the band's 2022 triple-album set, Call to Arms & Angels, which charted Top 10 in countries right across Europe and saw the band headline their biggest live shows to date, culminating at the 15,000 capacity Paris Accor Arena in November 2023.
The album marks a powerful evolution in the band's 30-year journey. Initiated by the core quartet, the record embraces a minimal, down-tempo sound with expansive, emotive space. The addition of Essex rapper Jimmy Collins brings a fierce, haunting energy to 'Heads Are Gonna Roll', while singer Lisa Mottram delivers spontaneous brilliance across several tracks, including the hypnotic title song and the brooding  'The Love The Light'.
The album's versatility spans raw, percussive rhythms in 'When You're This Down', electro-pop touches in 'Wake Up Strange', and motorik vibes in 'Look At Us'. At the emotional core is 'So Far From Losing You', an eight-minute epic blending rap and vocals that reflects Keeler's personal life. Driven by a desire to create without boundaries, Archive continue to challenge and inspire fans, proving that their creative spark burns as bright as ever.

Talking about the new album, Keeler said:
The album all started after we composed the song Patterns. We really loved the space and minimalistic power of the song, it reminded us of our debut album Londinium, and how we approached writing at that time - heavy rhythm with a melancholy that penetrates the soul. I was listening to Elgar's Nimrod a lot at the time we started writing the new album, and I wanted to use brass as an added dimension, bringing even more emotion to the songs. Our last album, Call to Arms & Angels was a pretty heavy record in retrospect, due to the whole Covid experience. This one feels like we're breaking out into a more expansive and uplifting dimension.
FInally, the band will also be heading out on tour in support of the album - dates are as follows:
30.03.26 - Paradiso - AMSTERDAM, NL
31.03.26 - OM - LIEGE, BE
03.04.26 - La Seine Musicale - PARIS, FR

Archive are a South London-based musical collective renowned for their cinematic soundscapes, genre-defying evolution, and uncompromising artistic vision. Formed in 1994 by Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths—former members of pioneering drum & bass group Genaside II—the band debuted with the critically acclaimed Londinium in 1996, blending trip-hop, rap, and orchestral textures.
Over the next two decades, Archive became known for reinventing their sound with each album, incorporating elements of progressive rock, electronica, soul, and post-rock. From the lush melodies of Take My Head (1999) to the epic scope of You All Look the Same to Me (2002)—featuring the 16-minute standout track 'Again' —their music grew increasingly ambitious.
Following widespread success in France and Europe, Archive composed the soundtrack to Luc Besson's Michel Vaillant, and cemented their reputation with Noise (2004), which propelled them to stardom across the continent. After shifting to a flexible, collective lineup, they released Lights (2006) and the politically charged Controlling Crowds series (2009), showcasing their lyrical depth and genre versatility.
Their later works—With Us Until You're Dead (2012), Axiom (2014), Restriction (2015), and The False Foundation (2016)—pushed creative boundaries further, with Axiom even spawning a dystopian film premiered at Sundance London.
Archive's immersive live shows highlight their commitment to innovation. With over 25 years of fearless experimentation, Archive continues to evolve, producing music that resonates emotionally and intellectually with a devoted international fan base.

Archive are: Darius Keeler (Piano / Keyboards), Danny Griffiths (Keyboards), Dave Pen (Vocals / Guitar), Pollard Berrier (Vocals / Guitar), Lisa Mottram (Vocals) & Jimmy Collins (Vocals)

Pias news – Alice on the roof – ‘Comme je tai aimé’

ALICE ON THE ROOF DEELT NIEUWE SINGLE "COMME JE T'AI AIMÉ"

Alice on the roof, een vaste waarde in de Belgische muziekscene – sinds kort getekend bij het gerenommeerde Franse label tôt Ou tard (Vianney, Mentissa, Vincent Delerm, Albin de la Simone, etc.) – brengt vandaag een moderne popballade uit met de titel Comme je t'ai aimé.

De track werd geproduceerd door Albin de la Simone (Pomme, Jeanne Cherhal, Miossec) en mede geschreven met Adrien Gallo. In de song blikt Alice terug op een liefde die, ondanks de teleurstelling, een diepe indruk heeft nagelaten. Het resultaat is een elegante productie met verfijnde teksten: een veelbelovende eerste stap richting haar nieuwe, volledig Franstalige project.

Dit najaar verschijnt het langverwachte nieuwe album van Alice on the Roof. Een nieuwe mijlpaal in de carrière van de The Voice Kids-coach.
