The hands are shaking and the legs are teetering on the edge of the abyss. You break out in a sweat and your head spins. And yet – without knowing exactly why – you take that leap of faith. And you are not quite sure whether you will land in one piece. That’s the prevailing feeling on Bongloard’s latest long player DYTYR? (Do you think you’re ready?), which will be released on October 4, 2024 by V2 Records. On the Dutch punk rock crusaders’ successor to debut People Overreacting To My Behaviour, excitement and adrenaline are at odds with despair and stress: or fight or flight, as they say. This collection of kinetic noise-punk/alt-rock bangers, the three amigos Jannes van Kaam, Ties Bogers and Jan van Asch claw themselves out of the dark pit with determination and a chip on their shoulder.

Biography

We are Bongloard

3 lively and lovely loud lads

who like to turn things upside down

Specifically venues and crowds

We oer thundering tracks

With raw ris and beefy basslines

Driving drums and vicious vocals

Mind-sticking melodies and life-changing lyrics

Oh yeah we could go on forever

And we will

We prefer to go straight

With a ‘what you hear is what you get’-attitude

No frills or fancy-pantsy frippery

But honest and pure

Hard and positive

Best enjoyed live

Don’t just stand there

Just let go

Let’s go
