There is an almost family like feel to the community of Roadburn, gathered online in the Roadburners Facebook group page. This is were the Roadburners share stories, ask questions or complain about long queues. With this sense of community and togetherness in mind we sat down with a Roadbuner to hear a personal persective on this festival we all love so much. It’s late afternoon on the Saturday of the
Great Grief plays hardcore, but not with camo shorts and baseball caps. It’s hardcore of the heart and soul, wide open and full of fire. During Roadburn 2019, the band played an added slot on Friday in Ladybird Skatepark. They had already played two shows. It was a tense set, hard and overwhelming for band and audience alike. But those are the shows where the chemistry happens, where everything becomes

Today is a good day for music. While we’re enjoying the third day of Roadburn it’s also Record Store Day. We were at a packed Sounds Tilburg where the announced ‘DJ-set’ by Dutch Record Store Day ambassadors De Staat turns out to be a live set after all. Fool me once. We park at the door from where we see a lot of folks carrying out RSD-totes filled with what,

Why Aren’t You Laughing? is alweer het vierde album en het eerste dat verscheen via het Canadese Artoffact Records. 5 april was het zover en aangezien we de groep binnenkort prestigieuze shows zien doen op Roadburn (12 april) en Doomstad (11 mei) reist Never Mind The Hype af naar Rotterdam voor een gesprek met gitarist Thomas Pablo Sciarone
“De line-up was toch al meerdere keren af, rond en voltooid verklaard?” “Ja maar, ja maar, ja maar ik kwam nóg een steengoede band tegen en die moet er echt spelen.” “Ok, ok point taken. He, we hebben nog geen bands op de skatebaan dit jaar!” Goed, we weten natuurlijk niet precies hoe dat gaat in Roadburn HQ, maar wel dat er uit liefde voor en kwaliteit van bands wordt
In recent years, the Dutch black metal scene has shown a number of prodigies. Young acts with a fresh approach to the iconoclastic genre, with little regard for purism and conservative views. During Roadburn, you’ve already been able to sample their wares throughout recent editions, but this year on Roadburn-Saturday (13th of April) they will unleash their full creative force with Maalstroom in the Patronaat. Maalstroom, which translates as… well,
One of the best things of living in the Netherlands must be its festival climate. Oh hell, let’s be specific: the best thing about being an adventurous metal fan in the Netherlands is the annual trek to Roadburn. Never Mind The Hype has been a media partner of this festival extraordinaire for some years. In the following article we take an in-depth look at the conception and production of one
Eigenlijk was de Roadburn-programmering al compleet (ok, op dat ene gat in het schema op vrijdag in het Patronaat dan…), maar voor een graag geziene Eindhovense gast maakt de organisatie een uitzondering: welkom TankZilla. Peter – Pedro Speedrock – van Elderen stond al menig maal op Roadburn, maar is er weer als de gretige kippen bij. De collega’s van Eindhoven Rock City grepen die kans terecht met beide handen aan
