THE WOLF BANES
40th anniversary !
Isn't that the gang around Wim Punk and his band, known for the drunken waltz "As The Bottle Runs Dry," the unfortunately still relevant "Miles Away From Here," the campfire crackler "Fire In The Woods," and the garage classic (Shit I Love) "Barbara Carrera"? Indeed – and these stubborn foxes haven't lost their tricks over the years: effortlessly ignoring the ravages of time, artfully navigating the "next big things," and still on the hunt for that golden classic. In 2026, The Wolf Banes will celebrate their 40th anniversary – a remarkable journey spanning four decades of uncompromising rock ‘n’ roll. The Wolf Banes have been a well-oiled live machine for years – always releasing new tracks and albums. Their latest album, "Sugar Skull," was released in 2025 – a raw, fresh record that proves that The Wolf Banes still sound relevant after all these years.
Stef Paglia
Besides his own project, Stef is a member of two other successful European touring bands. He co-founded The BluesBones (winner of the 2016 Belgian Blues Challenge) and recorded seven albums, three of which reached number one in the British blues charts in a row. In 2019, he joined Kaz Hawkins (winner of the 2017 European Blues Challenge) as a sideman and recorded two albums with her: 'Memories Of' and 'Until We Meet Again'. Throughout his career, Stef has performed with top international artists such as Laurence Jones, Danny Bryant, and The Nimmo Brothers. In 2017, Stef started his own band, the "Stef Paglia Trio." Together with his girlfriend Iris Teunissen, he began writing his own music. This resulted in their 2019 debut album, 'Never Forget' (recorded and produced at Superfly Studios in England by Wayne Proctor). This marked the beginning of his solo career! A European tour was planned, but Covid struck. During that time, Stef & Iris wrote the EP "Light & Darkness." This time, he decided to handle the production himself. The band recorded the new songs in the summer of 2022 at Dunk! Studios in Belgium. The songs, released in early 2023, powerfully evoke a completely new sound! A few months later, the EP reached number 3 on the American blues/rock charts. Since september 2025, a fresh wind is blowing through the band, and they are moving forward as a brand-new trio: Hammond, guitar/vocals, and drums.. Guitar/vocals: Stef Paglia;Drums: Sven Bloemen;Keys: Tom Eylenbosch.

R E D R E D (USA/BE) is exactly what you get when you bring an American (seasoned blues enthusiast with a fetish for ethnic music) together with a Turntable Dude, a bearded soul bassist, a jazz drummer, a Southern belle, and a sweet psychedelic guitarist from here. Straight out of the European crossroads, Red Red proves to be an unlikely cross-pollination of psychedelic tunes, 70s guitar rock, blues, and turntablist music. This quickly gives the band a unique sound... perhaps it's Psychedelic Turntable Blues!? Flirting with traditional and original material, where old and new find harmony, is the place where R E D R E D likes to be. Red Red released their (vinyl) debut album, The Alabama Kid, in collaboration with the NAKED record label on November 23rd. Several singles from that album received international radio attention, including radio airplay on Radio 1, Stijn Meuris on Willy Radio, and Dr. Boogie on Classic21. Red Red music airwaves in our country.
