A touch of Arctic Monkeys, Blur, dEUS, Gorillaz, LCD Soundsystem? the five-piece from kortrijk \/ ghent are a band with swagger who produce a uniquely rhythmic, alt-indie sound. \"their strengths, most notably their flair for rhythmic beat, are fully exemplified on applause with its speed \u0026amp; grooving feel. a comparison to the arctic monkeys wouldnt be too far off, actually, although fairly slower, combining touches of the streets, \u0026amp; maybe even the gorillaz to keep things relatively odd, but fresh...the bands work here sounds experienced, full of potential, \u0026amp; ready to make some belgian hipsters squeal with glee: applause for balthazar is well earned, gentlemen\" 4\/5 - the skinny.
