WAYS PUNKROCK SINCE 2020

Founded in late 2019 or early 2020, WAYS quickly took off when Riza (Pure Breed, First Things First) approached Remco (Said and Done, Noise Pollution) to collaborate on a project that he had in mind.

By combining Remco’s songs with Riza's lyrics, they soon had more than 10 songs on the shelf and recordings in prospect.

 

To enhance their sound and allow Remco to focus more on vocals, they began searching for a second guitarist. In 2021, a mutual friend introduced them to Micha (Facing Down, The Minority, The Unsinkable). Enthusiastic about the material, Micha brought fresh ideas that helped define the distinct sound of WAYS.

 

However, the band has faced some changes in their drum lineup. Initially, Chris (from Whiskey Out of My Nose and Tearless) was the drummer, followed by Ludwig (from Under My Boots and/or Tempter). Despite these changes, WAYS remains determined and is actively searching for a new drummer to complete the band.

 

WAYS delivers punk rock infused with harmonies, drawing inspiration from the iconic bands of the 90s. Their lyrics tackle societal critiques and delve into philosophical themes. Fans of bands like Bad Religion, No Use For A Name, Pennywise, and Millencolin will feel right at home.

Stay tuned—WAYS is gearing up to make their return soon!
