Beachdog - Beachdog

Facts "While the world came to a standstill, Beachdog
sharpened its claws" DaMusic (BE) wrote about the very
first 7" of Beachdog. Finally, there is a new loud rock
band with songs that will appeal to large audiences.
Audiences that still miss going wild in sweaty halls with
friends, fists in the air. Because Beachdog, after selling
out their first three shows, had to cancel their first
clubtour like many others. Thus, all hope is now focused
on the release of their debut album.
Beachdog delivers a self-titled rock record that goes
from loud to very loud, and yet is also enjoyable because
of its dynamic. From grooving interludes to even an
organ solo by Robin Piso on 'Good Morning'. Fresh neogrunge,
punk and post-hardcore reminiscent of Foo
fighters and Soundgarden on the one hand and bands
like Turnstile and Touché Amoré on the other. A sound
that fills a gap in the Dutch band scene that had to be
filled for years.
David Achter de Molen became known as the lead singer
of John Coffey. This Dutch punk/hardcoreband released
three albums, toured from Russia to the USA and played
an infinite amount of clubs and festivals in Europe. After
ten years John Coffey stopped on their peak and David
withdrew himself from making music. Years of presenting
radio and making podcasts followed, but something
started itching again. After three years it was time to go
back to making music. He found one of the most
talented Dutch guitarists in Ruben Lisman, and they
wrote songs together for a year. They then found the rest
of the band in the hardcore scene from the south of the
country.
David explains: "If there was one prevailing thought
when writing this record, it was 'I just want a damn good
rock record to be on Spotify'. And in my opinion we
succeeded, within a genre that currently produces not
enough good music in the Netherlands". This sound had
to be made and these frustrations had to be sung out
loud, whether it's about the dairy industry or religion. But
above all, a Beachdog audience should
