Anger is an Energy - the new acclaimed Sunpower biography It was the summer of 2002. The queen mother dies, Everybody's still fucked over by the 9/11 airplanes crash, 200 people are killed during a bomb-attack on the island of Bali and a little country called Belgium hasn't changed a bit since the Wilfried Martens, Jean Luc Dehaene, Guy Verhofstad administration. Mike Dubois, a real punkrock dude from the old school remembers the time that he was playing in a fast forward, no-nonsense band called "Les Stroumphs Alcooliques". He remembers those times and says: "those were the days". He picks up his guitar, calls his former bassplayer Gerd Vanhoof and find Jerre, an oldtime friend who just bought himself a drumset. They finish 7 songs and record short after it. Fast fucked up songs for fast fucked up people: "BACK TO BASICS'", which also became the title of their first EP, released in april 2003. After a short while Mike became sick of playing the guitar and Jerre left the band to become a duathlon legend. Sunpower picked up Davy and Kevin, fucked up loners from the younger generation and the rest became history. Through the years we released 2 more EP's (Total control and John Terror) and 1 LP. We worked together with labels such as Still Holding on, HOly shitPeter Bower and Rock'n'roll radio. We played with bands such as Negative Approach, Discharge, DRI, Poison, Idea, Spermbirds, The Kids, Kill Your Idols, Leeway, Dead Stop, Out Cold, Millions of Dead Cops, Justice, Dire
