School Is Cool

The story

School is Cool are an indie band from Belgium, founded in late 2009. Debut album 'Entropology' (2011) introduced Belgium, the Netherlands and France to School is Cool's indiepop in the form of a 16-song chaotic cathedral-like structure of energetic drums, eighties synths, dark, apocalyptic lyrics and grand, baroque choruses, produced by Das Pop's Reinhard Vanbergen. 2012 and '13 saw the band touring Belgium (including Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop)
