The Hickey Underworld was a Belgian rock band hailing from Antwerp, known for their raw energy, jagged guitar riffs, and post-punk revival sound. Their formation in the early 2000s brought together a group of musicians with a shared vision of shaking up the rock scene with their intense and often haunting music. They quickly established themselves within the local music scene, gaining a reputation for their spirited live shows and their unapologetic embrace of the darker sides of rock.

The band's discography, featuring the likes of "Wall On The Fly" and "Living on Big Foot," showcases their commitment to pushing boundaries in both sound and subject matter. The track "Ill" illustrates their ability to mesh catchy melodies with an underlying dissonance, while "High School Lawyer" captures the angst and rebellion associated with youth and disenchantment. "Hertenwandel" continues this trend, demonstrating a maturation in their lyrical themes and musical complexity. The evocatively titled "I'm Under The House, I'm Dying" sums up the band's penchant for the dramatic and the visceral, cementing The Hickey Underworld's place in the Belgian music landscape as a cult favorite for those who like their rock laced with existential grit. Their music remains a testament to their unique style and the fervent following they cultivated during their active years.
