To the surrealism of Quentin Tarantino films, second-hand records and old Westerns. To the vibe of lava lamps and Photoshopped boogaloo, to a 1960s that is as unfocused as the 1960s you see on YouTube…Bruut! swings hard. They balance the colourful with the unpolished, and the danceable with the listenable. In short: Bruut! is all about super jazz.
In 2011 Bruut! introduced their audience with superjazz during many performances and at their own club nights in People’s Place. Beside that, the band was making their debut on national radio and television stations, include performances at Radio 6 and the TV program Opium Night Live. By the release of their first single ‘Surf’ (#13 of most played tracks in 2011 on Radio 6 and included in the Funk/Jazz list of 22tracks.com) all the publicity resulted in a show during the Noorderslag Festival 2012.
BRUUT!’s self-titled debut album was released on the 10th of February 2012 at the Dox Records label. The album was very well received by media and entered the Top 200 Albumcharts at #194. The album has since been released in the Benelux, the UK, Japan and South-Korea.The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant gave the album four stars and wrote [dutch]: “Bruut! is a sassy jazz group that has lack to formalities and manners in the world of jazz. That is clear from every note on this debut album. In the compact numbers sounds juicy boogaloo and fleshy rhythm & blues. Bruut! squeezes the songs in funky, greasy jazz.”
Also nu.nl gave the album four stars and wrote [dutch]: ‘“Bruut! is not only a good jazz Quartet, but simply a fantastic band. A band earlier this year pitched high eyes at Noorderslag, so there is a big chance that you have the four gentlemen this summer at a podium somewhere.”
Besides the reviews, BRUUT! has performed live at several radio stations such as 3FM, Radio 6, the Concertzender and Arrow Jazz.

Bruut! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je vergat de deur op slot te doen
Niet zo slim lelijke snol
Voor straf neem ik jou in je hol
Bruut anaal genomen
In een overvolle dixie
Ik lach me hier een breuk
Dynamo was nog nooit zo leuk...
The lyrics to Bruut!'s song Brakina are explicit and full of profanity, portraying a vulgar and demeaning attitude towards women. The opening lines, "Dikke trien, stomme oen, je vergat de deur op slot te doen," suggest that the singer is not only insulting the woman's physical appearance but also questioning her intelligence for forgetting to lock the door. This is followed by the line, "Niet zo slim lelijke snol, voor straf neem ik jou in je hol," which translates to "Not so smart ugly bitch, as punishment, I'll take you in your asshole."
The next few lines describe the brutal and non-consensual nature of the sexual encounter that follows. The phrase "brut anaal genomen" means "brutally taken anally," and the line "in een overvolle dixie" refers to a portable toilet. The singer seems to find humor in the situation, laughing at the fact that Dynamo, a music festival in the Netherlands, has never been so fun.
This song has received backlash from many for its misogynistic and violent lyrics, perpetuating harmful attitudes towards women. It is important to recognize the harmful effects of such lyrics and to promote a culture that respects and values women.
Line by Line Meaning
Dikke trien, stomme oen
You, who are overweight and foolish, forgot to lock the door
Niet zo slim lelijke snol
You are not very bright and unattractive
Voor straf neem ik jou in je hol
As punishment, I will take you anally
Bruut anaal genomen
I took you roughly in the anus
In een overvolle dixie
In a crowded portable toilet
Ik lach me hier een breuk
I am laughing so hard, I could break something
Dynamo was nog nooit zo leuk...
This experience is more enjoyable than watching Dynamo (a magician)
