Puke (band)
Puke (later stylized to Puke Zeeland Crew) was formed late 1996 in Goes. During it's existence the band played a mix of punk with hardcore, metal and Oi! influences and released two demos. Puke solely played gigs in the south of the Netherlands, sharing the stage with bands like Born From Pain.

History
The earliest line up of the band consisted of Hans (guitar), Jan-Willem (guitar), Andreas (drums), Ronald (vocals) and Andre (vocals). The first shows they played consisted of high school parties and Dutch King's Day events.

After Hans left the band to focus on his studies in 's Hertogenbosch, he was replaced by a bass player, also called Hans. By 1998 Jan-Willem went off to college and was replaced by Alex. This line up recorded the 'Greatest Hits 1998' demo. The songs were simplistic mid tempo bluesy punk rock oriented with Oi! and rock influences.

The band started playing shows with other local bands like Anchor, Ruthless , Stand Today, Counterpart and Uppercut.

Later years
After going through several line up changes by 2000 the music of Puke evolved towards a more metallic and hardcore sound, though still leaning heavy on their punk roots. The band now consisted of brothers Bas (guitar) and Giel (drums), Hans (bass), Daniel (guitar), Ronald and Andre still sharing vocal duties.

This line up played a sold out show at 't Beest in Goes and gained more local traction. After the band recorded a second demo called 'Six ways to live or die, and another six pack to go...' the band started playing a few shows outside their home province Zeeland.

By 2001 Daniel left the band. After a show later that the band decided to call it quits. Puke played their last show on February 2nd 2002 in Cafe De Vrijbuiter in Goes.

July 2021 the band's first guitar player Jan-Willem passed away, followed by singer Ronald in January 2022.
