Said and Done

short version Said And Done is a hardcore band. long version SAID AND DONE is just a bunch of kids playing the music they love, HARDCORE. Taking cues from the 80′ies their songs are full of groove and melody, but with a raw edge. Add some lyrics that are trying to bring accross a message (without being pretentious) to the mix and you’ll get the idea what they’re all about. Two tracks, recorded with Michiel Toenink, introduced the band to the world in 2006. This online released promo got their name out fast and got things started.

WOLVON

These three bearded men from the northern part of Holland bring post-noise alternated with enchanting, mellowed out dreampop. With amps in overdrive and lots of reverberated vocals this band made quite a name for itself in a short period of time. They also seem to have a mission to go with their music as they themselves declare: Wolvon gives comfort to those in need. Or as we like to say: Get your Wolvon!
