Like Oasis, AC/DC, and the Kinks before them, Soulwax revolves around two brothers, guitarist David and singer Stephen DeWaele. Their debut album, MUCH AGAINST EVERYONE'S ADVICE, is a blend of rock stylings, cool dance beats, and traces of electronica. The title track is a perfect example of what the band is about, as it opens with a funky drum machine beat before rocking out with real drums and hard, crunching guitars. Other highlights include "Overweight Karate Kid," "Too Many DJ's," and the sort-of Jeff Buckley tribute called "The Salty Knowledge of Tears." F.Y.I.--the brothers are also a world-famous DJ duo, playing in clubs around the world as the Flying DeWaele brothers.
