Tribe of Cro are pioneers of instrumental exploratory soundscapes
and textures ranging from heavy industrial guitar outbursts to
otherworldly squiggles and ambient bleeps. Using all kinds of
electronic trickery they are able to seamlessly glide between all
kinds of styles.
Read the reviews
Formed in Belgium in the mid 1990s they took up the tribal
ethic which was reflected in their line-up which supplemented a
nucleus of musicians with additional members.
Over the years, spontaneous improvisation has begun to give
way to more realised ideas, although the celebration of each
performance as a unique event is still a major part of the TOC
philosophy.

Well, this is what people had to say ...

Reviews)
'A virtual supergroup' (Eurock, USA)
'A ten thumbs up' (Cranium, New Zealand)

Always able to rise to a creative and artistic challenge they
have performed on up to three separate stages simultaneously, and at
all kinds of events and festivals from a boat sailing through
Holland, to the top of a mountain overlooking Innsbruck.
Festivals that have played host to TOC include 'Highlife
Festival' in Holland, the 'Dour Festival' in Belgium, the 'Herzberg
Open Air Festival' in Germany, the 'Ragnalove Festival' in France
and 'Ancestral Powers Festival' in Austria. The band is warmly
welcomed in the specialised international music press of
progressive rock, alternative rock, space/psychedelic rock, trance,
metal, and even jazz circles.
Over the last ten years they have released three albums to critical
acclaim. Potlatch, the first release was followed swiftly by
Sporadic Spyrogyra and Hydroculture.
