BLOODY BLOODY BELGIUM

Belgium has the coolest bands around that's why we're proud that some house bands are returning and some diamonds in the rough are playing. You can't spell Crossbonefest without Cheap Price, Right? That's why PRICEDUIFKES and CHEAP DRUGS are back again to make one hell of a sweaty confetti party.

You are now about to witness the strength of thrash knowledge. Straight outta Antwerp, a crazy motherfucker named Wall-E. From the gang called TOXIC SHOCK. Or something like that. Anyway, Belgium's leading band in the thrashmetalpunx-genre, played the biggest festivals in Belgium, have a split out with Iron Reagan, but are still DIY to the bone. The shock brigade are demolishing their way from 'T Stad to Limburg to smash the fuck out of The Bassment. T-O-X-I-C.

Motherflippers LOTUS,

wine drinkers COMA COMMANDER,

garagepunx EQUAL IDIOTS,

emopoppunx MOUNTAINS TO MOVE

are all confirmed!

Founded in Limburg, Belgium in the year 2000, world famous for their insane live shows and their fast-as-fuck hardcorepunk sound. This year they'll release their new EP that's heavier than yo' momma (Serious, listen to it https://reproach.bandcamp.com/album/despair-shittown-ep) We're afraid that Crossbonefest will be done after this set of 50 songs in 30 minutes. REPROACH!

Do you know MC Karel? Who doesn't? He has a band now! BADGER confirmed!

Support your scene. These dudes are playing in bands for years and now they formed this 90s hardcorepoppunkrocklifetime/kiddynamite-ish band STEEL JUSTICE!

ENGLAND BELONGS TO ME

All the way from the UK.

SSSNAKES, HINDSIGHTS and CLEAN SHIRTS will travel from their island to our beerflavored basement to bring you the best in punkrock, emo and hardcorepunk.

"OH NO NOT FINLAAAAND"

Finland based CUSTODY, is a fairly new punkrockband but the guys in the band have been around in the scene longer than the USA exists! Or some other comparison. Check it out. Supercool tunes and supernice dudes! All the way from the U.S. of A, WEEKEND DADS are crossing the ocean and will bring you guys that It's Alive Records punkrocksound. Supercooool.

MAIS OUI OUI OUI OUI

Put on those berets, grab your baguettes and grill your croque monsieur because one of the raddest and tightest bands around NOT SCIENTISTS are coming to Houthalen and will blow everyone away with their upbeat-pompshit-indie-punkrock-melodies Going further in the indie-inspired-French-punk-pool. VALLEY and SLICE OF LIFE are bringing their emotional grungy punkrocksound to the bassment!

MONSTER ZERO RECORDS

As usual we don't wanna miss out on those MZR bands. This ass-shaking poppunk band, all the way from the land of pizza, spaghetti and mafiosi, TEENAGE BUBBLEGUMS are coming to make you move your hips and put your dancing shoes on fire. Papatiepoepetie. On their skis from Tirol to our land of beer and chocolate. This grungy, scruffy punkrockband with some emotional/poppy influences 7YEARSBADLUCK will let us know that Austria is more than snow covered mountains.

And last but defintly not least. These guys... these legends...these manly men... toured Europe, The States and Japan more than once. They will celebrate their 20th anniversary at Crossbonefest After a gazillion line-up changes and only 2 consisting members. Mikey Bat Bite, Kevin Aper, Ivo Backbreaker and Kasper Keen are playing Belgium again with THE APERS.

That's it for now. Share/like this post and let the world know that, once again, the coolest bands around, will be set loose in Getwood city for one weekend. Stay tuned for another batch of bands, somewhere, somehow.
