Scram C Baby

Ever since The Smiths started asking themselves what difference it makes, people have been searching for the meaning of the word indie. Stubborn? Contrarian? Independent? Or maybe sex on fire? In the Netherlands, we've known better for thirty years. Indie is dead, long live Scram C Baby!

No band makes such sharp songs so faithfully. Remained small, by being great. Never a genuflection towards easy scoring. Always from the bleeding heart. You gotta hammer it. And then you push it down. And you shit it out. Eating like an elephant. It's in there. It has to come out. Singer John Cees actually thinks it's just pubescent. Journalist Igor Wijnker writes: if this is pubescent, then Reve was a children's book writer.

Will It Ever Change? Is It Ever Going To Stop? Let’s fucking hope not.
