# Event Details - **Event Name**: RONKER - Try-out / Vurt // Bastion Vijf, Dendermonde - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 10:30 pm - **Event Description**: vzw Rock 'n Load Concerts proudly presents THURSDAY 29/01/2026 @ BASTION VIJF, DENDERMONDE RONKER Limited Capacity Try-out for their sold out AB show! Come on Bakkies! RONKER is not the first state-of-the-art speednoise band to ever exist, but they are the first ones to coin the term. Formed in 2020 in the heart of the swamplands of Belgium the band comes naturally weathered and screaming bloody murder. RONKER’s music can be described as a mix between Danzig-era Misfits and Helmet, equally influenced by the earliest of hardcore-punk and 90’s alternative guitar music. Since its inception RONKER can mainly be found on the road. Carving out an audience in the most old-school fashion: by playing live. Always visceral, urgent and frantic, RONKER is prime example of being staunchly committed to rock and roll athleticism. Throwing shapes and taking names. Their debut album ‘Fear Is a Funny Thing, Now Smile Like a Big Boy’ was met with overwhelmingly positive reactions, with journalists praising the band’s cross-over antics, also applauding RONKER for testing the limits of standard tuned guitars whilst retaining a hooky nature. The band was complimented on injecting a much needed boost of speed into the Belgian music scene. The album also meant the stepping stone for the band’s first international touring milestones: bringing them to festivals like Hellfest, 2000Trees, Pukkelpop and Jera On Air. On sophomore album -of which title is yet to be revealed- RONKER sounds more ambitious than ever. A concept-album about coping mechanisms and the antics of a rock&roll-lifestyle. The band is presenting a more layered and sophisticated sound than its predecessor; the result is a record that is equally shaped by the likes of David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars as it is by Refused or Slayer. Still as aggressive as before, but with a more old-school approach to songwriting with big choruses and even bigger riffage. Although RONKER likes to profile themselves as pleasant rascals with big hearts full of love, they are not really known for being the happiest kids in school. Now the time has come to bring that anger to the stages again and burn down the expectations with a new batch of big speed-noise songs. Always suffering, forever nervous. Respect the hustle. Unleash the dogs of war. The RONK is coming. VURT So Dendermonde dumps this venomous and smelly green bile into the Dender and we have to deal with it? It’s VURT! Punky drunky wunky stonervibes merge with post-punkish melodies. Made with deliverance and a suited mullet hairdo.
