The Sore Losers came out of Hasselt, Belgium, in 2009, four guys who poured their love of rock, country, blues and garage into one raw, sweaty sound: Jan Straetemans on vocals and guitar, Cedric Maes on guitar, Kevin Maenen on bass and Alessio Di Turi on drums.
Their self-titled debut in 2010 carried "Beyond repair", a slab of dirty blues-rock with the amps turned up and the polish scraped off. Roslyn followed in 2014 on Excelsior Recordings, and "Tripper" and "Don't Know Nothing" showed a band that had sharpened its hooks without sanding down its edges: fuzzed-out riffs, swaggering vocals and a rhythm section that never stops pushing.
