"About Simmer"
Could it be that they put something in the water nowaydays in the Lowlands? Some strong stuff, that makes people pick up guitars, enabling them to write superior popsongs? I mean, the ace-bands keep coming from this little country. Right now we've got these 4 guys from the North of this Country who formed Simmer. They've got tons of brilliant popsongs, they've got power, they've got harmonies, it's got style, it's uplifting - what more do you want?

('Nothing.')

Well, sometimes you do though. Like the audience that evening in Utrecht when these guys opened for Oasis. They wanted more from our little band at that time.

By the way, in those days Simmer was called Slide. They had a single out as well and good it was (SOTW on Vpro Radio, jubilant reviews, the whole lot).

And there is more. In the summer to be specific, Simmer released it's debut-album, Mothertongue. Need we say that it is pretty good?

('Nah, we believe you.')

Later this year Simmer will go on the road with Johan, another band that's got a lot going for them.

('It has to be the water.')
