The Sandmen

Data updated on 2025-07-03 07:43:54 UTC

Copenhagen based - formed in 1985⭐️
In a constant flow of change. Reinventing the bands writing and sound continuously, staying true to their stylish, fragmented musical heart. Its a story of music for musics sake. And comradeship. Shoegazers? Somehow yes!

The bands reputation as a sublime live band springs naturally and directly from the core - enjoying the music as THE COLLECTIVE the band sees itself as. Projecting out.
