Hailing from Brussels, CMON CMON is a band bringing power pop into the modern era with a vibrant and instantly catchy sound. Featuring the talents of vocalist and guitarist Jorrit Hermans, bassist Steven Omblets and Michel Becx on drums, the trio has captured the hearts of audiences both in Belgium and beyond over the last couple of years.
Known for their thrilling performances and infectious melodic writing, CMON CMON’s shared sonic vision has resulted in a rapid rise that’s won over fans and racked up hundreds of thousands of spins of their music online. First making their entrance in the summer of 2022, they released their debut single “The Summers We Missed” with singles two and three quickly following.
Released last year, the band’s debut full-length record, The Crack And The Light, was produced by Grammy-nominated Alex Newport and released to critical acclaim, landing a spot on The Sunday Times Best Albums of 2023 list. Firmly planting them on the map of must watch artists, the songs from the album received extensive support on American college radio stations across 20 states, spreading the profile of the band in North America.
Following a successful UK tour in 2023 to promote the album, CMON CMON is now set to open the next chapter in their artistic story. Their upcoming EP, Headwind, has been produced by James Brown at Trypoul Studio in The Netherlands with the first single arriving with their latest release titled “All The Other Kids.”
It’s a track that bridges generations, exploring the hopes and dreams of both a 16-year-old and a 46-year-old, framed by shimmering guitars, bright melodic hooks and smooth harmonies. From the opening bars, the band sets up a bright pop-focused rock sound with jangly guitar tones, lively drums and upbeat vocal leads, crafting a sound that’s utterly charming and energising in equal measure.
Flowing with intricate guitar rhythms and uplifting vibes, the catchy vocal leads glide above the arrangement to forge a memorable musical experience that’s impossible not to love. Paired with the single is a music video which features various people skateboarding in various scenic shots, pulling off tricks and sweeping along with flares in hand, resulting in an engaging visual accompaniment for the band’s superb new single. With their upcoming EP on the horizon, CMON CMON are sure to continue dazzling fans around the world with their original sound and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in in store next.
