30/10/2025 - 18.00 - Music Mania Instore Session: Oproer presents 'The Catch'
Dark, danceable, ecstatic and recognizable. The Belgian band OPROER has been known to leave no one unmoved with their intoxicating mix of poppy alt rock and funky postpunk. Two years after their debut album We’re All Late Tonight, the five-piece cuts deeper with follow-up The Catch, once again relentlessly serving highly infectious tunes and riffs.
On sophomore album The Catch, OPROER digs deeper, with frontman/lyricist Dries van der Schueren drawing inspiration from turbulent times. ‘I lost a few people close to me, some people in the family were struggling with health issues and I’m completely swamped with a gruelling renovation, while feeling the need to write music and make a new album. It’s a challenge to try and find a balance between the things happening around you and your own personal issues. That struggle runs through a lot of the songs, and my job as a therapist helped to pour some of that intense stuff in the songs.’
The feeling of chasing things, love, life, and trying to catch up, is a recurring theme throughout the album. But the album is also about all the different choices life has to offer, and how a choice that seems right at first may have consequences later. So, you ask yourself: what’s the catch?
