DESINTERESSE + CRUSH OF SOULS

Desinteresse is a Dutch coldwave act consisting of Bart (bass), Joppe (drums) and Sem (vocals/synth/guitar). Formed in late 2022, the band initially released music as a duo, dropping their debut album Voor Altijd in April 2023 and the EP Ik Wil Dood Als Ik Het Vergeet in November 2023, both on cassette via their own label Decadence. Since 2024 operating as a trio, and despite only forming recently, they have already toured Europe multiple times and shared stages with Lebanon Hanover, Sad Lovers and Giants, She Past Away and other significant artists of the genre. In February 2026 they were invited to Grauzone festival for the second time, opening the main stage.

Crush of Souls is the musical and performative endeavor of Charles Rowell (Crocodiles, Flowers of Evil, Issue). After relocating from New York to Paris, Charles has been pushing and morphing the project towards its current state over the course of the last years. But it wasn’t until he was living out of a hotel in north east Paris, a short stoned stumble away from La Station and Espace B, that Rowell found his inspiration for Crush of Souls. The city provided the background and the scene of friends who pushed his creativity even further. Now, three years later Rowell and his Parisian souls have toured the US extensively and performed at several high profile festivals in Europe; also supporting Buzz Kull and Harsh Symmetry.
