I am really into the Afrikaans music scene, specially rock, and when I first heard Winterstasie I was ecstatic. Winterstasie is really the first local rock band I am liking in a long time.

Winterstasie is a South African Alternative / Progressive Afrikaanse Rock band from Potchefstroom. The band consist of Dewald Pieters, Niel Verster, Dewald Buys and Ruhan Wagener. They were recently also nominated for a MK Award.

Winterstasie has catchy melodies and lyrics that gives me the same feeling the first time I heard Fokofpolisiekar, I am absolutely loving these guys at the moment and hope they get far with their music career.

Here is few of Winterstasie’s music videos for you to enjoy.

Winterstasie – Wie is jy?

Winterstasie – Autokrasie van ‘n hart

Winterstasie – Die Beterkant

So what do you guys think? Do you like their sound? I know I am loving them, my favorite tracks include Die Beterkant and Wie is jy?
