IT IT ANITA
A Belgian noise-rock tornado with a formidable live reputation, IT IT ANITA enters a whole new era with Mouche. The quartet becomes a power trio, putting efficiency back at the heart of their art, and delivering an album of decomplexion. As Michaël Goffard (vocals/guitar) points out, "It's not that we don't give a damn, it's that we go all out! This fourth album takes us down uncharted paths. There's the verse/chorus structure, the light versus the harsh, the Beastie Boys-style phrasing, but also the storytelling. Here, IT IT ANITA sings of the guilt of the aftermath of drunken parties, of yes men who stop at nothing, of those crypto-millionaire wankers, or of still being up and ready to make noise after 10 years in business.
Following in the footsteps of John Agnello, Laurent Eyen and Amaury Sauvé, the Liégeois are once again keen to pay tribute to an important figure in their entourage. Important, but in a completely different way. This new album owes its title to the adorable golden retriever pictured on the cover. Fostered by Elliot Stassen (bass) for 2 years and now the band's mascot, Mouche is now a service dog. A veritable long-haired icon, his story seems to echo the surplus of color on these 9 new tracks. This satisfies IT IT ANITA's desire to make this the album most closely tied to its audience, breaking its own codes to the very end.

THE TRADERS
THE TRADERS is a French punk rock trio, but if you're into garage, stoner or pop, there's something here for you! You might think of Motörhead flirting with The Bronx, Dead To Me, PUP or None More Black.
2013 saw the release of "Too Young So Old", a spirited and promising debut album, followed by tours across Europe, England, Russia and Canada.After a few children and a worldwide pandemic, "How Much Art Can You Take?" arrived in September 2023 under painful circumstances following the death of Clément, on guitar on this album.
These 12 tracks, tense, singular and sometimes confusing, prove in 32 minutes that the band has been able to digest its influences and shape its own identity.
