2010 release.
De Brassers
are one of the most notorious bands in Belgian new wave/punk history. With their no-nonsense attitude, they scared the shit out of the local Catholic community of Hamont. De Brassers were a local mixture of the
Sex Pistols
(in the lowest gear) and
Joy Division
(they always performed a cover version of Joy Division's "Shadowplay"), combining a criticism of bureaucracy and politics with experiences of psychological and existential tensions. The doomed sound they produced tells a lot about the dark atmosphere of the late '70s and early '80s: the fear of atomic bombs, Cold War pessimism, police violence against squatters, the first cases of AIDS, and the grim years of
Reagan
&
Thatcher
. The CD and DVD presented here take you back to that time. All tracks from
En Toen Was Er Niets Meer
, their first 7", and the self-titled 12" are here, as well as rare and unreleased tracks taken from live performances and the cassette
Levend
. If you're in for a raw slice of Belgian history, let De Brassers immerse you in a cold wave of punk. This release also contains a documentary about De Brassers. Shot in black and white, plus color by
Chromasoom
(
Jan Weynants
). Over 50 minutes of live footage and a great amount of interviews with (ex-) band members and other people who were involved. English subtitles included.
