WASTE (+ BRAKWATER)

Expect melancholic vocals with manic outbursts, tight pumping drums, heavy basslines and screeching guitars when watching this band tear down the stage.

WASTE makes noise. A lot of noise. The Antwerp-Aarschot band blends noise, grunge, and dark post-punk into an intense, uncompromising sound, featuring manic vocals, pounding drums, heavy basslines, and screeching guitars.

In March 2026, their debut album SCREAM UNTIL IT’S BEAUTIFUL will be released, recorded by Tim De Gieter (Amenra, Doodseskader). The album is hard, danceable, and uncompromising: punk and noise remain at its core, while boundaries blur and experimentation takes the lead. Themes such as mental health, self-acceptance, and societal pressure run as a thread throughout the tracks, all infused with irony and self-mockery. WASTE delivers a soundtrack for the underdogs, outsiders, and anyone embracing imperfection.

This brand-new work will be presented for the first time during their album release show at Trix. The band recently won De Nieuwe Lichting 2026 by Studio Brussel, a further confirmation of their rise in the Belgian music scene.
