Screw Houston

Screw Houston are a Dutch punk rock band based between Utrecht and Brabant, fronted by enigmatic vocalist Roelof de Brouwer. Joining him are Matthijs Krikke (guitar), Dennis Verschoor (guitar), Marc van Gastel (drums) and Anthony Hobo (bass). The band formed in 2009 as a post-hardcore group, changing their sound a few years down the line as it headed down an anthemic, alternative punk rock path which takes its cues from modern day greats such as Foo Fighters, Hot Water Music and The Menzingers. Over the course of their ten year existence, the band have performed live throughout the entire Benelux region, sharing stages with the likes of Zebrahead, John Coffey, Trade Wind and I Against I. The band have also made appearances at Jera on Air, Festival de Beschaving, Breda Barst and Eurosonic Noorderslag, the latter of these as part of a showcase in conjunction with White Russian Records.

In 2016, Screw Houston released the well-received single All Rise, which was taken from last year's Like Fighting Snakes EP. The band subsequently went on to perform more than 30 shows across the country during 2017, making a solid mark on the Dutch punk scene which laid the foundations for an exciting future. That exciting future commences next year as the band celebrate their tenth anniversary with the release of more new music, as well as an anniversary tour.
