Forever and a Day

FAAD was a rockin 5 piece, and later a rockin 4 piece. The band formed from the ashes of a long gone FL punk band, Last Minute. Half of the band formed hardcore mega band Poison the Well, while the others formed FAAD. FAAD began their career with an EP on Eulogy and a tour up the east with KEEPSAKE. After close to a year of touring, the band decided to shake things up. Guitarist Mike Crigler took over vocal duties on the Eulogy full length. The band matured from a poppy emo band to a more elaborate group, focusing more on songwriting and less on image.

Krakow

There are two bands called Krakow: 1)Krakow started in 1999 in the apartment of Piet de Pessemier. He was forced to play softly not to wake the neighbors and this way of composing suited him perfectly. Pretty soon Gert Cools and Wim Grosemans joined him and provided the necessary musical backbone with bass and drums. As a trio they steadily kept on working on songs and soon they figured the sound lacked a female voice. A problem quickly solved, when Niné Chipolletti joined the band. With her fragile voice she manages to move the audience over and over again.
