X!NK is a Belgian pop-punk band, formed by brothers Jonas and Niels Meukens and Thomas and Philip Valkiers, who handled vocals, drums, guitar, and bass, respectively. The quartet first attracted attention as Belgium’s entry in the 2003 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with "De Vriendschapsband", finishing sixth in Copenhagen with 83 points. They released their self‑titled debut album X!nk in 2004, which went gold in Flanders, and followed with the single "Oh‑Ho" and the track "Laat Me Vrij" used as the theme for the Flemish version of Garfield. In 2005, the band issued Vergif, and later performed at major Flemish festivals such as Marktrock. After announcing a split in 2009, the members pursued side projects, but they reunited for sold‑out shows in 2023 and released the single "Misschien" in 2022, reaffirming their presence in the Belgian pop‑punk scene.
