Tricklebolt

**Tricklebolt** was a Dutch rock band formed in Lemele, Netherlands, in February 2014, known for their classic hard rock sound influenced by groups like Uriah Heep. The tight-knit group, together for over a decade, prioritized artistic freedom and collaborative energy, releasing albums such as *Tricklebolt* (2018), *Straight into the Blue* (2020), and the recent *Honey From the Sky* (2024). Their live energy shines through recordings like *Live at the Drive In* (2021), featuring tracks like "River" and "Freshly Mown Grass." While rooted in retro rock, they incorporated experimental elements, including collaborations with artists like Henk Hulzebosch (Boogie Monster) and Niek Cival (Grand East), to avoid being pigeonholed as a nostalgia act.

As of 2024, frontman Bastian Pen has branched into a psychedelic-tinged solo project called **Baba Pen & The Bim Bam Band**, though Tricklebolt’s social media suggests an active presence while referencing a "final show" video. Their discography reflects a band unafraid to blend bombastic riffs, acoustic textures, and modern production, culminating in a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
