Tomàn
With their recently released third album ‘Where Wolves Wear Wolf Wear’ – “a record you can listen to again and again”, according to Humo – Tomàn made its mark as one of Belgium’s most original rock bands of the moment. It is a concept album, consisting of a sole, long track accompanied by a comic strip in the booklet. Tomàn has rightfully earned a place among post-rock gods such as Mogwai, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, 65 Days of Static and Mono. Make sure to prepare your eardrums, because this will be one thundering gig!

The Sedan Vault – CANCELLED
More rock from Belgium, in the form of “the most underestimated band of the Western Hemisphere”, according to Belgian music site Kwadratuur. The site described their debut album ‘Mardi Gras of the Sisypha’ as “a truly brilliant cross-pollination of indie, punk and prog rock.” The follow-up album, ‘Vanguard’ sees The Sedan Vault continue where it left off: sturdy rock with an eye for detail, indebted to The Mars Volta and Bloc Party.
