EKLIN - www.myspace.com/eklin Eklin is the new band of Adept's Michiel Klein. Songs deconstructed into raw sound adventures. With Adept, Michiel toured Europe and USA, and did opening slots for the Gossip, Health and !!!. An album will be out in May 2009.
THE MOI NON PLUS - www.myspace.com/themoinonplus Loud uncompromised duo from Amsterdam, combining drums, guitar, samples and vocals into loud energy driven art/noise rock refering to band like LIARS, The Lapse & Sonic Youth. Released their debut album on Subbacultcha! in October 2008, which was followed by tours in Spain, Holland, the UK, America and Germany .
SUICIDAL BIRDS - www.suicidalbirds.com ‘Armed with out-dated amps, (self made) pedals, drum machine, bass guitar, guitar and the elastic strong and moving voice of singer Jessie they bring up a up howling storm, drenched in the raw passion of garage blues punk: Intense, urgent, confronting, personal, sometimes treacherously playful, exciting and inescapable. New album out on Tocado.
BONNE APARTE - www.myspace.com/bonneaparte Bonne Aparte are a six piece art/noise punk collective from outter Friesland. They mix Beefheart's insanity with shellac type grooves and like to shake their hips while doing so. Live they tend to ripp you apart and put you back together in a mere 25 minutes, their violence is real, their songs are for singing.
EVA BRAUN- www.myspace.com/musicevabraun Not your usual artschoolrockband. In fact, not very 'usual' at all. No Wave Punk Chaos from the bowels of Amsterdam. New EP out now!
DAILY BREAD - www.dailybreadtheband.com Sexy Garage Dance from the heart of Emmeloord. Combining the sound of UK bands like Blood Red Shoes & Los Compansinos with dirty organ fuzzz...
YOBKISS - www.myspace.com/yobkiss Drums with game-like electronics from Rotterdam. Yobkiss, a one-man band, toured Japan, Europe and USA . On CD Yobkiss collaborates with Jason Forest, Toxic Lipstick, Maruosa and many more. A new album is on its way.
AC BERKHEIMER - www.myspace.com/acberkheimer SHOEGAZE is back and you better believe it. These kids from Rotterdam combine the noisy sounds of my bloody valentine with 90s pop bands like Sebadoh and Adorable.
HARM WIERDA - www.myspace.com/harmwierda The organ player of the Groningen Mormon Church plays Klaus Schultze-like drones and organ improvisations. His album "777" (2007) is a massive sculpture of deep, warm, human eeeeeeeh ... emotions. |

This is the official =W HAM!WHA M!= records website. Janke en Janpier run it. We like good music, which is: weird, over the top and ab-normal. That is the music that we support passionately.
You like that? Then buy the stuff that we bring out. You can order through our website, you can buy at the shows of the bands, or you can buy in most good record stores in the Netherlands and Belgium. You can also download the stuff at I tunes, but then you'll miss the great artwork.
Please check the music in the player on the left, and check the myspaces of the bands for new sounds, friendships and shows.
Distribution for retail in the Benelux: Konkurrent
Cheers, Janke and Janpier |
BONNE APARTE – BONNE APARTE CD– 10 TRACKS – RELEASE 26 MAY 2008 Overwhelmingly loud chaos rock by six healthy young men with their hearts in the right place. We’ll be darned. The lively scene surrounding Adept has now come up with a smack on the head released on =WHAM!WHAM!= records. Ultra short, extremely fierce songs that leave just enough space for melody. Brutal and gallant at the same time. The boys have pulled off a masterpiece in capturing their harsh live sound in the studio. The result is unprecedented in the Netherlands. Loud, in your face. An international future is ahead for the boys. References: Captain Beefheart, Shellac, Sonic Youth, Millionaire, Adept. Bonne Aparte was founded in 2006. In 2008 they played on Noorderslag/EuroSonic. In May/June/July 2008 they will play Dutch clubs and festivals to promote their debut album. In September 2008 the band goes to Russia to do some shows, and in October they’re going to New York, US. Bonne Aparte is released on =W HAM!WHA M!= records, Drachtstercompagnie, in collaboration with Subbacultcha! Amsterdam. Distribution in the Benelux: Konkurrent, Amsterdam. Bookings: Rocknroll Highschool, Rotterdam. Artwork: Wouter Venema, Rotterdam. Production: Johan Kooi, Ureterp. Mastering: the Masters, Bontebok
