"Everything is unexpected. addActionListener(this) is caught between machine driven riffs and almost primoridal instincts waiting to get out. Nothing can limit them, nor should you be limited." // Martijn Welzen -- inside knowledge zine
"addActionListener(this) is tugging at the sleeves of the different genres that our underground scene is comprised of. The fact that you never really quite know what is about to come next is one of the biggest assets of the band. For those people who want something different and diverse for a change: a fair warning though: the band will play on every one of your senses and will eventually get under your skin." // Tom Adriany -- Europunk.net
"addActionListener(this) maakt in de basis hardcore, maar ziet geen grenzen. Punk, funk, grind, death en noem nog maar wat varianten op, komen en gaan op gezette tijden. Als het de heren uitkomt, is geen enkel genre veilig. Da's leuk voor een gewone plaat, maar geniaal als alle stijlen en genres zó in elkaar overlopen dat ze enkel en alleen stuwend werken aan de basis;krachtige en heldere songstructuren." // Rene Vanes -- Aardschok
addActionListener(this) is a threepiece alternative/postcore band
Originally comprising of 4 musicians out of bands such as GA Sportlife, Easy Way Out and Delate several years ago, they set out to create some sounds of their own. After a demo titled ’the simplification of Seattle’ came their debut recording called ’Speakermouth’published on the Belgian Indie label http://funtimerecords.com.
Back on track as a three-piece since May 2006, addActionListener(this) are vigourously working on new tracks and ideas for their next offering, planned for mid 2008.
Speakermouth
Released in 2004, Speakermouth contains seven tracks that fuse several hardcore and postcore sounds together to form a distinct, but cohesive recording. A packed booklet of original artwork offering another interpretation of the songs completes a unique package.
The CD includes a version of Unsung, a song by the forefathers of post-hardcore Helmet
For the moment addActionListener(this) is working hard recording a new album in a non-conventional way. All it takes is a small basement called ‘the addActionListener(soundlab)’, some recording equipment and 3 musicians with their minds set on an experiment in sound. DIY!
Ben er gisteren naar gaan kijken zelfs, Hitch heeft er ook gespeeld. Twee goei optredens gezien! Wil ulle ook nog eens zien, is al veel te lang geleden eiglijk.
