In the U.S., we woke up to horrible news from Belgium this morning. Words are hard to come by when dealing with such terrible, shocking events. But I have a few: FUCK ISIS & FUCK TERRORISM. Here’s a mix of Belgian–based artists that delves into the punk/new wave, coldwave, and industrial/EBM scenes of the late ’70s and ’80s. Let’s celebrate what brings us closer. Solidarity through music! Stay strong my European friends.
