L'itch

“What do you get if you put Queens of the Stone Age and The Guru Guru in a blender… Muse on coke?” Those were the words of Thomas Michiels, moments before he aired ‘King Ludo’ on Belgium’s second biggest radio station, Studio Brussel.

L’itch (that’s ‘itch’ with an ‘L’ in front) is a Belgian four-piece shaking up the Flemish guitar music scene. Their debut album, Urges, was literally written in an abandoned hospital, making waves with a blend of alternative and heavy rock, spiced with grunge and British influences.

And their reputation preceded itself when they released their second record, A Numbers Game. With multiple Spotify editorial playlist features, glowing reviews from Humo and Luminous Dash, and a packed venue at their release show, it was only a matter of time before the band evolved into an explosive live act.

Sander Blok (drums), Jeroen De Vos (bass), Kobe Walleghem (guitar), and Sander Rom (vocals, guitar) channel a unfiltered energy into their music. L’itch thrives on intensity, crafting songs that hit hard but linger with a strange, almost hypnotic comfort. Their sound is a collision of chaos and precision, where every riff, beat, and lyric feels deliberate yet wild. It’s this balance that gives their music its edge.

It’s post-punk, power-pop, noise-pop, grime—a potent mix you simply have to experience live.
