Janez Detd., short for Janez Determined, have been banging out pop punk in Belgium since 1995, from their base in Grembergen. Nikolas Van der Veken, known as Bones, sings lead and plays lead guitar, and Bram Steemans, aka The Machine, hammers the drums, while a long line of players has passed through, Lennart Bossu and Joeri Van Vaerenbergh among them.
They cut their teeth on the maxi-CD Dignity And Teeth in 1996 and the album Bleenies And Blockheads in 1998, then stepped up with a self-titled record in 2000 and Anti-Anthem in 2003. Killing Me followed in 2005, carrying "Breaking the Waves", and the records kept coming: Like Cold Rain Kills A Summer Day in 2006, For Better For Worse in 2008, with "My Life My Way" and "Your Love" on the radio around the same time, and 15 Years Of Fame in 2009. Play It Again Sam has been their label.
The sound is fast, tight and melodic, with big choruses built to be shouted back from the pit, and the band has kept growing: the current roster adds a horn section, with Pieter Dubois on trombone, Yorgi Gritzelis on saxophone and Thadeus Jolie on trumpet, plus keys, samples and extra backing voices.
