Gate Crashers

NL
Alternative

Born somewhere in the Netherlands in the mid 90’s and never grown up. Fast hardcore punk music, heavily influenced by the bands from the begin 80’s era, like D.R.I., G.B.H. and many others. Their motto is : never a dull moment and have lots of beer. Gate Crashers are absolutely non-pretentious. Their rehearsal room is in a farmers barn, called the Gate House. They write songs in 4 different languages (Dutch, English, German and a northern Dutch dialect called Grunn’gs). And their amp go to eleven!!!!!!! When they perform live, almost always a pit with moshing punks appears within an enthusiastic crowd. You see those Mohawks jumping all over the place. The songs are fast and short, and will seldom reach beyond 2 minutes. The shortest song on their CD is about 35 seconds, the longest nearly 2 and a halve minutes. Lyrics are from the heart and from everyday live. The band line up is: Jan - Drums & backing vocals Erwin - Bass Sietse “Swiep” - Lead guitar & backing vocals Hendrik - Vocal Peter “El Gordo” - Guitar & backing vocals
