Recensie op de krenten uit de pop:
dekrentenuitdepop.blogspot.com/2025/02/revi...
De Rotterdamse band Rats on Rafts reproduceert op haar nieuwe album op prachtige wijze de postpunk en new wave uit de jaren 80 en heeft een album gemaakt dat in de jaren 80 zomaar mijn favoriete album had kunnen zijn.
Rats on Rafts uit Rotjeknor in een redelijk goed gevuld Vera Groningen.
