[alternative rock from Amsterdam]

blackheads on stage at the Vismarkt, Utrecht

BLACKHEADS is an alternative underground rockband from Amsterdam, Holland. They play aggressive guitarrock with influences from punkrock, hardcore and metal, but also from funk and seventies rock. However, their style is nineties, with a strong syncopal feel to it. Therefore, in the comparison of their music with other bands names like Korn, Tool, Helmet and Jingo The Lunch get mentioned. BLACKHEADS only plays their own songs.

The band started in January 1995, but from the first line-up only two members still remain: Dorien and Marc. Sandrijn joined the band in May 1996, Edgar completed the band in January 2000. The band plays out quite often in the Amsterdam area, but also elsewhere in Holland and further into Europe.
A new demo is expected somewhere in 2000 (mp3 will be available at this website!) with new singer Edgar.

Line-up changes (singers and drummers who came and went) were a mayor setback in 1996. Two demo's were recorded with Dennis on vocals: one in March 1997 and one in may 1998. The first demo is from june 1995, with Ursula on vocals. All three being very satisfying products for the band.

and sandrijn too!

Their demo's were well received by the press:
....a band on the right track.....
....mixing influences from bands like HELMET with standard rock components like guitarsolos to a new and unique sound.....
....catchy and tight rhythms....

The last demo, from 1998, features three songs, and shows the progression of the band.

A new demo will be released in 2000, as well as the first cd.

BLACKHEADS plays a one hour set, and brings its own backline. If necessary we will bring a PA-system, or ask one of our buddy-bands (Facehugger, Beaver, Plexus) to come with us.
