MINDFOOL is a 3-piece rock band based in 

Arnhem (NLD) with repertoire in alternative rock.

Important inspirational genres for the 

band are grunge stoner and post punk. 

The trio consists of vocalist / guitarist Ernst 

Brandsen, vocalist / bassist Joris van 

Glabbeek and drummer Dennis van den Born. 

Beside a musical connection its three band 

members found in each other an urge to bring 

realistic rock music back to life. 

MINDFOOL advocates a comeback of human 

element in music. Recordings of rock gods like 

hendrix and santana aren’t click tracked for 

nothing. Its subtle dynamics and tempo changes 

embed the tracks with a sense of emotion. 

MINDFOOL tends to seek for these boundaries 

without becoming inaccessible and sloppy.  

Listeners will find extreme rawness and intimacy 

in just one song.

The songs contain a strongly rhythmic oriented

approach. Repetitive riffs are alternated with minor 

scales. Energetic percussions provide the tracks a 

proper pulse. Bassophilic listeners get satisfied with low

melodic foundations and surprising effects.
