I'm Merijn van Haren, 31 years old and I'm a singer.
People always ask me why I'm not participating in The Voice,...
... well, the answer is clear, ...
... I'm stuck with these people, so I'm not doing it alone...
... but now bands are also allowed to participate, so that's why were here!
Merijn, and band Navarone. Welcome to The Voice of Holland!
It's new, bands participating in The Voice. - Yes, the couch is fully filled now.
We're a rock band, but you can look at it in a broad way.
It can be with loud guitars, with acoustic parts or with strings.
Actually it can be everything in between.
We've been together now since we were 15/16 years old to make music...
... and from there we've been accomplished.
The coaches do not know in advance that a band is auditioning.
- No, but it will take them 2 seconds I guess
They will know immediately from the volume we will produce.
- I can't wait!
With whom do we have the pleasure?
- Navarone!
I think it's super cool, that five rough guys say: ...
'You know, let's go on an adventure with each other'.
I liked it, you didn't get impatient. The drums were balanced right.
No one stressed about the fact that you had to prove something here.
You did exactly what you're good in, just come to my team...
... I think it's really cool.
I think it sounded really cool. I have to be honest, ...
... I was a little bit hesitant for bands in The Voice.
I think it's a bit hard to judge 4/5 people within a few minutes...
... but it sounded really good.
It's weird because my first thought was, oh please don't do bands in The Voice...
... it's way too much. How am I gonna do that...
... but now, at least I wanna try.
Anyway, congratulations!
We'll go for Anouk.
It will be a big group hug guys.
