Ontaard grabs a hold of you and refuses to let go. This band from Utrecht weaves spoken word, screams and a wall of sound into music that touches the mind, heart and soul. Shira’s lyrics are feminist and engaged, carrying the weight these subjects demand. Their shows are dynamic, at times so vulnerable you can hear a pin drop, followed by moments of an overwhelming maelstrom you cannot escape. Ontaard is an experience. Anger, sadness, but also hope for a brighter future. They will take your hand and guide you.
