Black box Red - Battle The Sparrows EP

This week got on my mail a super cool present, the new EP from the Leeuwarden North of Holland dance punk duo of guitarist punk at heart Eva van Netten and the insanely good drummer Stefan Woudstra, i was quite happy to hear that who ever recorded the ep had the good sense to capture their super energetic spirit that after all is the band trade mark signature, all the way a excellent ep that will please for sure fans of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Blood Red Shoes ... One of my favorites in Holland and live are super HOT HOT, highly recommended *****

Black Box Red @ Sonic Connections Amsterdam 21 April

Amazing discovery last night during Sonic Connections in Amsterdam ...
Black Box Red are Eva van Netten Guitar/Vocal/Synth and Stefan Woudstra Drums/Vocal from Leeuwarden in the North Holland.
Their sound its taken from the DIY dance punk with the right dose of electro and their influences sounded like a mix of Blood Red Shoes, Dutchess Says, Kap Bambino, We are Wolves, Death from Above and i was extremely impressed with their live performance ... the drums are insanely cool and Stefan doesn't give it a rest and bangs it frenetically and everything moves in perfect harmony with the synth and guitar riffs from punky vocals and attitude from Eva. Basically their music is Noisy, Sexy, Raw and Loud and something you have to see live.

They have a couple of tracks on their soundcloud and watch out for the awesome The Clash cover that really makes justice to their talent.
