Paardcafé: Maria Iskariot + Bleedroot

Mary Iscariot is the patron saint of debatable behavior. It’s semi-adult female punk rock from Flanders. Hopeful hopelessness in noisy stanza, chorus, stanza. Love for the unloved, figs after Easter, but primarily a knee-jerk reaction to sinners. The songs are about growing up, no longer being able to distinguish right from wrong, being confused by yourself and the conditions of this time. It’s about wanting different, but not knowing how – and ultimately realizing that we too are benevolent assholes.

Bleedroot is a punk band from The Hague. With influences from the 80s and 90s (L7, Slutever, Legal Weapon) they bring grunge back, because it can be done again! From raw and energetic to heavy and sensitive. With a large dose of feminism, a touch of punk and a grain of salt, they are ready to bring their vegetable punk to the stage!
