Belgian music scene highlights Monza re-release and Nérine

The Belgian music scene is highlighted through the legacy of the band Monza and the emergence of the alternative rock group Nérine.

Monza, led by singer Stijn Meuris following his previous band Noordkaap, is celebrating a vinyl re-release of its 2001 debut album, ‘Van God los’. The album, known for its simple yet impactful lyrics, is being reissued twenty-five years after its initial release.

Meanwhile, the relatively new band Nérine is making waves with a melodic, energetic rock sound influenced by punk and grunge. Describing their style as chaotic yet structured, the band emphasizes musical independence and a DIY mindset, drawing comparisons to artists like Nirvana and the Pixies.
