Simplon UP:
Bliss + Rocket Chair

This weeks Simplon Up: a Drente edition with two super cool upcoming rockbands!

The young band Bliss brings an amazing amount of energy. The band’s grunge sound is especially reminiscent of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters. Through various pop trajectories such as Drentsch Peil XL, Kunstbende and Popsport, the band made it to the finals of the Young Creators Festival in Amsterdam. Last year the band released their first single called ‘Morning Sun’ and this year the band will have more surprises. The band’s charismatic singer will certainly make sure that the audience will not be standing still.

Rocket Chair is a no-nonsense rock band. This is mainly due to their tight sound with memorable riffs. The band is reminiscent of Foo Fighters and Velvet Revolver, and mainly encourages the audience to start headbanging and screaming along. What is particularly striking about the band is that the drummer has taken on lead vocals, which ensures an original stage presentation. In recent years, the band has released 3 singles on Spotify, of which ‘Voice Control’ is the latest. The band produces all this in-house from the plains of Nieuw-Schoonebeek.
