BIO

If Duran Duran’s Girls on film were actually guys, they would be called CUSTOMS (°2008). If The House of Love would speed up a notch or two, they would call themselves CUSTOMS. Imagine The Human League with intrusive guitars instead of synths: CUSTOMS.

CUSTOMS guarantees pop songs bathing in melody, atmosphere and rhythmic edge, dressed in trench coats of mystery. Uninvited guests settling in a room that was not even vacant. CUSTOMS uses a voice, a pair of electric guitars, a bass guitar, a modest drum kit and an occasional keyboard.

Some CUSTOMS trivia:

[] Early 2009 CUSTOMS sign recorddeal with noisesome recordings

[] In April 2009 CUSTOMS became the first ever Artist in Residence at HET DEPOT.

[] CUSTOMS' first single, entitled "Rex", was released on 20th April 2009. By 1st July it reached the n°1 spot in De Afrekening.

[] Customs was elected 'Vi.be On Air' Band of the Year 2008-2009 by Studio Brussel.

[] On 16th September 2009, "Justine" was released as the first single of "ENTER THE CHARACTERS". CUSTOMS went to Berlin with director Joris Rabijns to film a music video for aforementioned song.

[] 23/10/2009 is the day "ENTER THE CHARACTERS", CUSTOMS' debut album, hits the stores.

 Als de girls on film van Duran Duran boys waren, dan heetten ze CUSTOMS (°2008). Als The House of Love een versnelling hoger zou spelen, dan noemden ze zich CUSTOMS. Stel je The Human League voor met opdringerige gitaren in plaats van synths: CUSTOMS.

De popsongs van CUSTOMS baden in melodieën en strakke ritmes. Ze dragen trenchcoats van geheimzinnige atmosferen. Ongenode gasten die hun intrek nemen in een kamer die niet eens vacant was.
