Belgium go getter SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! is a syn punk, industrialist whose talents as a solo project began way back in 2016! Since then releasing singles, an EP and 2 LPs! New music is being worked upon, with shows already happening lately, with a lot else in-store! See what else was talked about below.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
I created this as a solo project in 2016, writing all the music and lyrics on my own. I knew Sem, my bassist, for some time but we decided we should play concerts together when he played with his chiptune project in 2016 at an event I was also playing at. Noémi and I had been long time friends and she became my live keyboarder when we traveled to Japan together in 2017. Alexandre my live drummer joined last year and we knew each others from some metal events where I sometimes do some volunteering work.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
My band’s name is influenced by video games like Street Fighter 2, Punch-Out!! and Double Dragon 2. I wanted to have a name for my project that would remind me of those sounds of video games from my childhood.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We all live in different cities in Belgium that are more or less distant. In my city there is a small metal, punk or rock scene but not really music similar to the one I make.
4. How would you describe your style?
It is electronic Industrial and Future pop music influenced by Metal, Punk, and sounds from 80s video games.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
I’ve released several singles, an EP and 2 albums. I’m currently working on a next album or EP and also a remix album. People can expect some heavier music and vocals and other interesting changes for the future releases.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes, I continue working on new music as often as possible and have 4 songs of an upcoming release that are already finished and hope to finish several more tracks before the end of this year.
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We just played some shows in Mexico last month and are working on playing new improved shows to promote the new album with some surprises.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
I would like to continue releasing lots of music that we can play as a full live band, and travel to perform at places where we haven’t had the chance to go to yet.

10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
