Biography
The Better Offs - the lonely rising stars of Dutch alternative music * – are commonly known for their impressive collection of palindromes and their five year evolution into the Rock Moguls you know today. Hailing from Rotterdam and Utrecht, this band is currently at its full strength and more ambitious than ever before. Listening to them make your ears feel hypnotized with pounding drums, tight bass, massive guitars, melodic vocals, a clever synthesizer and more adjectives than you could ever come up with.
With these instruments, The Better Offs create a sound that's bursting with energy, but still leaves room for surprising elements and a delicate touch. It's exactly what differs this quintet from your local shitty band. 2008 will be a remarkable year for the band, with the release of a brand new EP and shows in big venues such as Melkweg (Amsterdam), Waterfront (Rotterdam), Effenaar (Eindhoven) and Tivoli (Utrecht). To hell with modesty, enjoy The Better Offs!
