Garage-Punk / Egg-Punk
ITCHES is a three-piece garage punk band hailing from the Kempen region of Belgium, near the city of Antwerp. They emerged in 2020 from a cryogenic sleep paralysis to bless the world with their signature sound: ‘Carapunk.’ The three members grew up in the slums of Los Kempos near Antwerp (not to be confused with the more tranquil Kempen). ITCHES’ signature hard-hitting sound, tight live performances, and infectious energy have earned them the reputation of being a ‘best-kept secret’ in the Belgian underground scene. But don’t take anyone’s word for it—experience it for yourself… if you can catch them alive!

Tipping points combines eggpunk, cybergrind and cute pop vibes to elaborate on crisis, queer desires and solidarity. Formed in 2023, they are the latest addition to a fraction of the East-Cologne DIY punk scene associated with bands like pogendroblem, Gordon Bleu, RWCM and Tulips.
First 5-Track tape is out via Mörtel Sounds (EU) and XTRO Rec (US).
