NL | Geïnspireerd door de lopende tentoonstellingen in NW en de rijke muziekgeschiedenis van Aalst, duikt NW samen met Rock ’n Load de geschiedenis en hedendaagse underground van alternatieve muziekscènes in. Met documentaires én liveoptredens van lokale bands. Aalst speelde in de jaren tachtig en negentig zelf een belangrijke rol in de Belgische hardcorepunkscene, met collectieven als Smurfpunx en een levendige DIY-cultuur die ook bij Netwerk haar plek vond. Elke film wordt gevolgd door een concert of Q&A met een special guest. Vooraf kan je eten in het No Choice Restaurant van Dennis Tyfus x Kitchen Stories en de tentoonstellingen bezoeken.

They describe themselves in their bio as a punkrock band with metal influences. That is simply great for our festival dear gentlemen. And don’t let the name bring you in doubt, they are real Swedisch folks. Maybe therein lays the reason for their melodic touch. The come from Göteborg and they even make their death metal melodic there. It didn’t withhold them of becoming one of thé most

important punk bands with an in your face attitude. This kind of band gives extra flavor to our line-up.
