Words by Will I lie to myself. I like to convince that I am worldly and cultured. Sadly, I know the opposite to be true. But worldly music leanings are a strong first step in my culturing process. Maybe, one day I will be able to escape my own preconceived bullshit. Maybe, just maybe, hopefully, you (the esteemed and probably much more cultured audience) can take this journey with me. As such, I present Brussels heavy pop quartet BRNS . This is a formal informal introduction. By reading this, you will become more cultured. As [...]
Anna Calvi wanted to tackle covering TV on the Radio 's "relentless and terrifying" song 'Wolf Like Me'; watch her perform the song on a recent tour stop in Brussels below. Here's what Anna had to say about how she felt about the track: I love the desperation in this song - the original by TV on the Radio is relentless, and terrifying. I find the idea of losing control of oneself very provocative, and the way this idea is explored in 'Wolf like Me' (the protagonist is turning into a [...]

If you've been paying attention over the five-plus years of Hidden Track's existence you know that I love when bands dig into their archives to release the gems buried within. Since we started the site archival releases have become more frequent which thrills me to no end. Today, both Widespread Panic and the Rolling Stones have announced new vault installments and each of them look outstanding. Let's start with the Stones . According to Vintage Vinyl News (via @HeadCountOrg ), the band has teamed up with a merchandising company called [...]

I gave up meat almost thirteen years ago (the actual anniversary will be on Thanksgiving). Since that time I have only eaten it once, though it wasn't on purpose. I was working at a health food store, famished after having eaten nothing all day. We were closing for the evening and getting ready to throw out some mashed potatoes. I decided to eat some, not wanting these veggie delights to go to waste. After a few, it was apparent that what I had thought was potato skins was actually pancetta. The cook had left that part out. It didn't take [...]

So last week I travelled to Brussels to join in the celebrations behind the opening of Aloft's 50th hotel, as well as the 1st year anniversary of the Aloft Brussels Schuman hotel itself. The hotel chain had organised a gig at the hotel, but not just any old gig, this was the first ' Turning Up The Spotlight ' gig. It was a chance for 3 new and exciting Belgium bands to perform in front of a panel of experts, who would then chose a winner on the night who would go forward to [...]

One of the many highlights of How to Dress Well 's gig yesterday at DNA in Brussels: Suicide Dream 2 . Voice of an angel. Be sure to catch HTDW, a disco naïveté favorite, on his European tour (dates here ) - you do no want to miss this. New songs sounded great as well, very hi-fi and upbeat yet somehow so fragile. Magic.
This week's Get The Curse podcast is mixed by up-and-comer DC Salas, a Belgian jock with Peruvian roots. At age 22, he's already a household name in Brussels' underground scene as a certified DJ and promoter.

Sometimes a simple cut is all you need. It is what takes my hair from a Billy Ray Cyrus trailer rave to a hipster tea party . It is what takes Peter Jackson movies from being rambling pieces of gorilla feces to, well, shorter pieces of gorilla feces. It is what took this Thai Barbecue Brussels Wrap from being ho hum to humdinger. The first time I made it I lazily threw in whole Brussels Sprouts and their didn't seem to be enough flavor. The more I added, the more logged down it became. A [...]
