HAEMERS - NOISE (Review By Dirk Ceustermans)

  I think it's fair to now call Dirk Ceustermans the official Just Some Punk Songs Belgian correspondent. Every so often he'll pop up with "I've got another one for you Mick."  He's yet to disappoint.

  Dirk's written a couple of paragraphs about a hardcore punk 4 piece from Ghent called HAEMERS. They line up with Bram (vocals), Joris (drums), Bert (bass) and Pieter (guitar). Their Facebook page is :  https://www.facebook.com/haemersband/

  Last year they released a Demo and you can find it Name Your Price here :   https://haemers.bandcamp.com/album/demo

  And now over to the song that Dirk's chosen....

HAEMERS - NOISE 
taken from DEMO released June 6, 2018

  Patrick Haemers was a criminal from Brussels who was part of a gang known for its violent robberies on money transports back in the 80s. At the end of that decade, this gang kidnapped a famous and rich Belgian politician, for whom they asked ransom which they got. However police were on his tail as they arrested a few involved. But by then Haemers was already in Rio De Janeiro. A bit like Ronald Biggs' story innit?
Brazilian authorities arrested him and sent them back to Belgium. 
Finally he committed suicide (some argue about that) in jail in 1993.

  So this band took up his name to unleash their violent attacks onto us, successfully so. There's more bands in Belgium that use the names of famous people over here, Travolta comes to mind, or the yet to be unleashed band called Johnny Flamingo.

  I wanted to write more about the band but by the time you've read this, the song will be over.

  This is NOISE...
