The Akulas

About

Think reverb-soaked guitar twang. Think pounding drum beats. Think cheesy organ sounds. Think thumping bass vibes. Shake all of that together — do not stir. Serve cool. That’s The Akulas.

Rooted in Ghent (Belgium) since 2005, inspired by the sixties’ sounds of surf music, Hammond craze and European beat!

Listen & download music

The Akulas are Udo (Gretsch drums), Willem (Framus Star bass driven by a Fender Bassman 100), Benjamin (Nord organ) and Ruben (Fender Jaguar & Jazzmaster driven by a Fender Dual Showman Reverb and a Fender Reverb Tank).
