Live dates:HCTF review of Beachdog.
It's not that difficult to play really fucking loud, but is quite hard to make it sound great. Dutch hard-core grunge quintet Beachdog have mastered the art on their self-titled debut album, a well-executed sonic assault that will bring back smiles (and mosh pits) to the rock clubs. Led by former John Coffey singer David Achter de Molen they tear through ten songs in half an hour, inserting a crunchy guitar solo (Milk) and muffled vocals (Interlude A: Gazing) to give the crowd an opportunity to catch their breath after being exposed to screams (The Patient) that will haunt singing coaches in their dreams.
Besides all the fun they are obviously having, Beachdog are a serious outfit, urging listeners to Fight Evil, Read Books. Their debut single Crawl in Pieces is a neo-grunge anthem a la Soundgarden. Achter De Molen grew up in a heavy-handed Christian environment, until he discovered the cooler, outside world at age 15. And with Good Morning - Robin Piso (DeWolff) weighs in with a great organ part - he says goodbye to a loved one in the only way he knows how: singing his heart out, rising above the din of a band firing on all cylinders.
Dutch hardcore/grunge band Beachdog dive into the world of mythology, describing a fight between giants on their new single Swords Up In The Air, a fist-pumping rock anthem with howling guitars, and singer David Achter de Molen pushing his vocal chords to the limit. The video was made by Set Vexy.
Dutch hardcore/grunge band Beachdog take it a down a notch on their new single, Good Morning. Singer David Achter de Molen sings about his loved one and tries to get back on his feet again: "I’m getting used to this life // I swallow the pieces // Of the things I cannot change // And it’s fastened // You will resign, you won’t come back again // To live your second live in a cloud somewhere". The hurt is still fresh and the an edge of panic in his voice. He is fully aware that he will have to move on someday, but he doesn't know how. Robin Piso (DeWolff) weighs in with a great organ part. The video was made by Jop van de Kam.
Dutch hardcore/grunge band Beachdog dropped the double whammy Crawl in Pieces b/w Milk last year, a spicey mix of melodic grunge and metal. Led by former John Coffey singer David Achter de Molen they have recording the tracks for their self-titled album. The new single Dog, a song about dealing with loss, is another banger, with chopped up riffs courtesy of lead guitarist Ruben Lisman. Sybrand Hiemstra (rhythm guitar), Vincent Kuijpers (bass) and Mex van Gestel (drums) keep it tight and loose.
Dutch quartet Beachdog have released their debut single Crawl in Pieces b/w Milk today via Snowstar Records. They are loud and melodic, mixing grunge and hardcore. Singer David Achter de Molen says goodbye to his heavy-handed Christian youth on the A-side.
Loud rock music is here to stay. Dutch quartet Beachdog, with former John Coffey singer David Achter de Molen on vocals, hit the ground running with their debut single Crawl in Pieces, a neo-grunge anthem a la Soundgarden. Achter De Molen grew up in a heavy-handed Christian environment, until he discovered the cooler, outside world at age 15. It's his belated goodbye to his youth..
Marshall-stack lovers will give this a big thumbs up and will take note of Ruben Lisman, a guy who really can play guitar.
