 | | The Belgian rock tradition was established rather late, at the end of the seventies, when in the wake of the new wave movement, several bands emerged. |
 | | With the exception of Arno Hintjens' T.C. Matic, they did not gain much renown outside Belgium, but they did prove that Belgians could make fascinating rock music themselves. |
