Oproer maakt dansbare popsongs met een klein hoekje af, in de traditie van bands als Talking Heads, Das Pop en andere MGMT’s. Ook nieuwe single Sweet Fame is zo catchy dat het bijna strafbaar wordt, onder de luchtige hooks en melodieën zit er dan nog eens een tekst met weerhaken, die de song de nodige substance geeft.
Sweet Fame is de tweede single van hun op stapel staande nieuwe album. The Catch verschijnt op 17 oktober 2025 via V2 Records.

Dark, danceable, ecstatic and recognizable. The Belgian band OPROER has been known to leave no one unmoved with their intoxicating mix of poppy alt rock and funky postpunk. Two years after their debut album We’re All Late Tonight, the five-piece cuts deeper with follow-up The Catch, once again relentlessly serving highly infectious tunes and riffs.
When OPROER started to attract nationwide media attention by 2023, they had already gained an electrifying live reputation with their energetic and tight live shows, earning them a loyal fanbase. From supporting Fantastic Negrito on a successful European tour to selling out iconic venues like De Vooruit (Ghent) and Het Depot (Louvain), the only is undeniably up for Oproer. After a handful of singles and the Closed Session EP (recorded live in one take, 2021), the band released their debut We’re All Late Tonight in late 2023: a collection of poppy/funky alt rock songs with an edge, presented with a sold-out and steamy release show at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.
