A Brand, that band from Antwerp, are totally back again with their third album ‘Judas’: cutting edge rock ‘n' roll containing the ingredients: drum kit, four guitars, and five voices. The singles ‘Time’ and ‘Bubbles’ from that new album are already doing very well on the radio. With A Brand, you always score live too, as our man from De Standaard already noted at Pukkelpop this summer: ‘A Brand has developed into one of our tightest playing bands’.
A Brand scored a solid hit in 2006 with the damned catchy single ‘Hammerhead’: the song stayed at number one in De Afrekening on Studio Brussel for eight weeks and was voted by listeners as the best song of 2006.

Support act will be De Staat from The Netherlands. This band is making a big advances, there above the Moerdijk: as of this week they're number 1 in OOR’s To Die For chart and they were the revelation of Noorderslag (Dutch sister-festival to Eurosonic). The ingredients of the album ‘Wait For Evolution’ are impressive riffs and smart turns of song such as we are used to from dEUS. Maybe that's why De Staat was invited by Barman & co. to come conquer the U.K. with them? ‘Growling basses, subtle harmonies, solid grooves, well-timed hand-claps, infectious refrains, everything's in there’.
