In the spirit of bold acts like Blondshell, No Doubt and the angry side of Olivia Rodrigo

Joan de Bruyn Kops fronts diet grunge-pop band HUNK, escaping the perfectionistic demands of her brain.
With a total absence of pretense, HUNK tackles skin-deep agony blending '90s grunge with

infectious synth-pop.

​

After a promising debut year with performances on the main stage of Bevrijdingspop and Vicefest and taking
part in Popronde, HUNK released their debut EP “What Do You Call Frustration” in the fall of 2025. The EP
received airplay on Dutch nationalradio at 3FM and KINK and was celebrated with HUNK’s self-organized

“Frustration Festival”
.

The band creates an out-of-the box DIY atmosphere to dive into with theirfans. From launching a retro ’90s
boxing video game alongside their single “Paul” to filming a self-made mini series fortheir murder mystery

track “Tommy”

, HUNK makes you wonder what’s coming next,right?
