djibou Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hello there, I am a huge fan of Belgium and I know they have very very good artists there who are underrated. So I thought maybe I should start a thread just for this country and its music. :wacko: I am far from being an expert, really, and I sure hope that other people post artists on here and some songs. If any Belgian coldplayers want to help me, please go ahead :D So first artist, one of my favorite of all time is Novastar, the band of the fabulous Joost Zweegers. I love all 3 albums of this artist and I seriously think he should be more known. These two songs really got me into him. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Duy4cxmT9RY]YouTube- Novastar - Because (official video, high quality)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peBjH7gIWsk]YouTube- Novastar - Mars Needs Woman[/ame] The next artist collaborated with Novastar for a couple of songs on Novastar's second album. His stage name is Ozark Henry, though his real name's Pete Goddaer, and he's a singer songwritter. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Suf6A3J434]YouTube- Ozark Henry - Godspeed[/ame] Next one, Milow, really got a lot more attention from around the world because of this song, which I think is a very good cover :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE9IchvpOPk]YouTube- Milow - Ayo Technology[/ame] The next one, Bunny, really isn't known, yet I love his album Play To My Own Tune. This song is very calm, but listen carefully to the lyrics, some of the best I heard. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=049e-ZsJrTs]YouTube- Leave[/ame] The next two artists, I don't know them very much, but I came to like these two songs a lot. Absynthe Minded This song, Envoi, was filmed in Ghent, the most wonderful city I've ever seen :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wys9VzF-_E]YouTube- Absynthe Minded - Envoi (clip officiel)[/ame] Admiral Freebee Song: Rags 'N' Run [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqeiv7Rq2UQ]YouTube- Admiral Freebee - Rags 'N' Run[/ame] That's it for now, if it's too much to listen at once, I'm sorry, I just cannot hold my love for Belgian artists anymore ;):P Artists suggestions are welcome!

djibou Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I didn't know these bands! Thanks for sharing them :D dEUS sounds a lot more rock-sih than what I've posted so far, it sounds very good actually! A bit grunge/experimental rock, really not bad! Hahaha Daan reminded me slightly of Jonny Cash, really, but it's very good :D I like it, I'll definately download this song :) Das Pop :o Wow, I really loved it!!! Got more songs from this band?

Miss Mags Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 the song from dEUS was from 1993 :lol: I also love that Das Pop song it's from their first album I think you also have it in German [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp5F-04xoLc]YouTube- Das Pop - Du[/ame] the song You/Du was from 2004 this is what they make now ... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0chMOJ5qUrk]YouTube- Das Pop - Never Get Enough (official video)[/ame] it was the intention of Daan to let it sound as Johnny cash you heard that very well :thumbsup: Daan makes very varying music . I'll post some links later :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I really liked that video, "Mars Needs Woman." It was so cute. :wacky: I rather like the music, too, a lot. :) Something tells me I should look more into NovaStar. As far as dEUS goes, I have heard of them, but I have never listened to their music before until now. It's edgier; I like it. :) I like the Das Pop quite a bit, too. I haven't really looked into the others yet. Thanks for introducing me to the Belgian music scene. I'm kinda excited about it. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirhc Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Awww Novastar, I love them, they are so great!
