About Me

Andre van der Walt is a band from Gauteng, South Africa. The line-up consists of Paul van der Walt on vocals, guitar, keys, beats & programming, Tjaardt Swanepoel on bass and Andre Pereira on vocals. The band started in November 2005 and sings in Afrikaans. Their sound could be described as a fusion of hardcore & electronic music. Since June 2006, the band has toured most of the major cities in South Africa (numerous times), including Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban, Stellenbosch and Cape Town. Andre van der Walt released their debut 6 song EP, "Kontra", in August 2007. The band won the "Hardest Song" category of the 2008 MK Awards and is currently working on their debut album, "Pneuma" which will be released in early 2009.
