The Neon Judgement

Since the early eighties, TB Frank and Dirk Da Davo have been the creative forces that have made The Neon Judgement a household name in circles where musical narrow-mindedness is not considered a bonus.
Emerging vibrant and violent from the small town Leuven near Brussels, in the early eighties, they started to build up their own sound. Considered, along with their Belgian peers Front 242, to be one of the original pioneering EBM bands, Neon Judgement fleshed out their herky-jerky rhythms with guitar and droning vocals.

Their early work combined low-fi technology and emotional sincerity to create a sound both warm and alienating. Going from strenght to strength, they released a string of haunting albums that displayed an adventurous variety of songs, where downright industrial drones stood side by side with twisted love songs and campfire ditties from hell.

The Neon Judgement have been ahead of their time longer than is just. Somehow their whirring daring momentum, their haunted homage to rock ideology (all shades and leather), their anger and sense of loss, can be sighted (albeit diluted and refracted) in many of today’s more pertinent chart acts. Dirk and Frank have always explored the seedier side of life while admitting the constant yearning of everyday / every night romantic.

Live, The Neon Judgement will continue to give art terrorism a good name, finding new ways of marrying noise and beauty, machines and magic.

This aggressive heart keeps on beating.
