Imperial Overstretched

A temporary house swap formed the base of this collaboration between the Belgian REIZIGER and the Dutch THE FIRE HARVEST. Geert and Gerben got to know much more of one another. By digging into each other's record collections they found out they had a lot in common. Both have a great love for bands like Fugazi, Lungfish, Karate, Nation of Ulysses, Girls Against Boys. Both play in bands that felt like keeping up the 1990 tradition of joining hands to make a split release. Read more on Last.fm.

There are 2 bands called Reiziger: 1.) A Black Metal project from Lobith, The Netherlands. 2.) Indie cult band REIZIGER we could rant about their history hailing from the early 90's post hardcore band Kosjer D., or recently Confuse The Cat & Bronze. Their stories across Europe or about their jobs in the social sector and their deal with Stickman Records ... but no ... let's try to focus on their impact on the listener by means of a couple of statements. Reiziger touches your emotion. Easily switching from subdued melancholy to youthful enthusiasm, from restrained contemplation to razor-sharp paroxysms of anger, shifting from feather-light poptunes to a massive dead swing sound but nonetheless always keeping their specific touch. Reiziger is a band. No exasperating individualism, no freaky soloing, the whole is much more than the sum of 4 individuals. Reiziger is beyond a band. Managing to combine escapism with harsh realism! Reiziger is Reiziger. Unique in sound, unique in word, unique in style.
