Neuroot [Arnhem] / Bat Brats [Köln]

HC-Punk Neuroot is an influential Dutch band that plays a devastating mix of classic hardcore punk, lightning-fast D-beat, and heavy "Concrete Punk" with crossover influences. Their sound is characterized by an extremely distorted, wall-of-sound bassline and raw, politically charged vocals.

Founded in 1980 by bassist/vocalist Marcel Stol, the band grew in the 80s to become a founding member of the Dutch and European underground with classics such as Right is Might and Plead Insanity. After a long hiatus, the band regrouped in 2012 with an even more intense sound.

With the widely acclaimed album False Profit (2024), Neuroot proved to sound heavier than ever, both live and on record. Since then, the band has toured worldwide and played on every inhabited continent. fast - fierce - energetic – antifascist 4 piece HC Punk from cologne born in 2025 drums - bass - guitar – vocals
