Description

Siglo XX is one of the best known Belgian cold wave bands and is considered one of the pillars of the Belgian music scene. Originally from Genk, Limbourg, in the Flemish Region. The musical style of the group is influenced by that of Joy Division.

[PIAS] co-founder Kenny Gates:

“It’s no secret I have always been a big Joy Division fan and I first met Eric Dries when he was a helping hand for the new beat label “Antler” that we were distributing at the time.

I had been buying the first seven-inch singles from Siglo XX when I still was a punter visiting Casablanca Moon and other record stores and loved their music for obvious reasons.

When the opportunity arose to sign them on Play It Again Sam, I was thrilled to help a band with such integrity reach a wider audience. Eric was such a gentle and nice human being, it was as much of a pleasure to work with him for his music as for his personality. My favourite track has always been and remains ‘Fear And Desire’.
