Chris Roper described it as “A vainglorious, but essential mythologisation of the music scene in Bellville that produced the likes of Fokofpolisiekar, aKing and Van Coke Kartel. This is more than just a history — it’s also a tale of youthful suburban aspiration, and a homage to a scene and period that speaks to a certain moment in the new South Africa.
“You’ll cringe at comments like ‘It’s the most genuine attempt this country has seen to make music,’but if you’re a fan of local music, you’ll delight in the detail. And if you aren’t a trainspotter of Afrikaans music, you’ll be intrigued at the number of good bands this kak little suburb outside Cape Town has actually produced.”
