The hotly tipped Dutch band
Canshaker Pi + Bull + Serial Chiller
A Canshaker Pi show can be described as one big kamikaze run. The Amsterdam-based quartet’s inflammable brand of indie rock is a gleeful but high-stakes affair. Beneath their fidgety, high-strung stage antics simmers a piercing intensity, one that perhaps comes with a creeping awareness that the days of being young, wild and free will eventually pass. Canshaker Pi frantically capitalize on their youthful zest with a relentless now-or-never stride.
On January 1st BBC Radio 1 – host Huw Stephens tipped Canshaker Pi as one of the best new bands to look out for in 2018.
“Canshaker Pi make a supercharged, highly rhythmic brand of indie rock that blends pysch, punk, and noise. That may sound like calamity, but it’s well-tempered with tight playing and opportune shifts in energy and aesthetics.” – Stereogum
“We really like that one, sounds like it would be a riot on stage!” – BBC Radio1
“A blustering romp of fuzzy guitars, big joyously off-kilter guitars and needling riffs, it’s a barely-contained sprint of indie rock (in the purest sense of the term) that hardly pauses for breath.” – DIY
“Reference points could include Sebadoh, Guided By Voices or Pavement themselves, but what’s most impressive is the sound of a young voice gathering confidence.” – Clash Magazine
