A Brand was a rock ensemble originating from Antwerp, Belgium, active until 2013 and fronted by Dag Taeldeman. Their well-known tracks include "Riding Your Ghost", "Hammerhead", "Beauty Booty Killerqueen", and "Time".
History
The group's first album, 45 RPM, was released in 2004, with the single "Riding Your Ghost" receiving notable airplay on alternative radio stations. By 2005, they had secured performances at prominent Belgian festivals such as Dour, Zeverrock, and Ackerrock. Their presence grew in 2006 when they appeared at Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop. That same year marked the release of their sophomore album, Hammerhead, which featured modestly successful singles like the album's title track, "Beauty Booty Killerqueen", and "A Perfect Habitat For Foxes". Their third studio effort, Judas, came out in 2008. In 2011, they unveiled their fourth record, Future You, including singles such as "What's Taking You", "The Mud", and "For Blood". The following year, in 2012, they released a double CD collection: the first disc contained fourteen previously released singles alongside two new songs, "Christine" and "Humanoid", plus a rendition of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck"; the second disc comprised "Grammar", an hour-long live medley of their major tracks recorded at Brussels' Ancienne Belgique during 2012.
