Heideroosjes (pronounced: hi-duh-rose-yes,[1] HR in short), are a Dutch punk rock band from Horst aan de Maas.

The band, formed in 1989, consisted of Marco Roelofs (vocals/guitar), Frank Kleuskens (guitar), Fred Houben (bass) and Igor Hobus (percussion).

[citation needed] After releasing two albums on their self-founded label Fairytale Records[2] Heideroosjes got its nationwide breakthrough in 1995 by opening the prestigious Pinkpop festival in The Netherlands.

Heideroosjes toured (mainly) Europe with familiar bands like The Offspring, Pennywise, The Misfits, Bad Religion and Less Than Jake.

Later that year, Heideroosjes received the Dutch Edison award for their single "Damclub Hooligan" (from their album SINema).

A few weeks later the Dutch minister of Justice, Piet Hein Donner, recorded a rap song with rapper Meester G responding to "Dope man" by defending his soft drug policy.

Later that year Heideroosjes record their eighth album with Los Angeles-based producer Cameron Webb, who worked with bands like Motörhead, Ignite, Social Distortion and Silverstein.

After years of touring the world including Japan, South Africa, and former Yugoslavia, Heideroosjes started a new phase in their career.
