Kaat broke through in early 2025 with her debut single Stop Met Wenen (Stop Crying), a punk-rock anthem for all women, misfits, and feelers. Stern yet fair, Kaat van Stralen holds all genres accountable. From punk and psychedelica to alternative spoken word; expect a heated linguistic uproar set to crackling beats and biting guitar riffs.
The impact of Stop Met Wenen (Stop Crying) has not gone unnoticed: Humo called the song “the most important Belgian track in ages,” and it quickly went viral on TikTok. Last summer, Kaat and her powerhouse band played more than 25 shows, standing out at festivals like Pukkelpop, Lokerse Feesten, Best Kept Secret, Gentse Feesten, and Crammerock. Drawing inspiration from artists like Amyl & The Sniffers, Wet Leg, and Fiona Apple, Kaat holds everyone accountable who upholds toxic standards.
