Hi, thanks for checking out Antillectual

We're a punkrock trio from Nijmegen, the Netherlands. We've toured and released albums worldwide since 2005. We like our punkrock political and melodic, combining the best of ’90’s skatepunk, ’00’s emo and ’10’s orgcore.

NEWSLETTER MAY 2025: Festival Season

Festival Season

We had an amazing spring tour, taking us all over Germany and Switzerland, introducing us to fun places like Dörverden and Oerlinghausen and revisiting classic hotspots like Bremen, which we hadn’t played in ages. Thanks to all for the good times and especially Spider Promotion and Rookie Records for making it happen. Now it’s onwards to a new chapter; the festival season is the only reason to stay alive! (Hope you get that reference…)

NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2025: Whose Streets? Our Streets! out now

We’re excited as hell because we’ve got a new single for you! After releasing Together in 2023 we’ve been steadily working on new music. WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS! is the first of a new singles series!

Check the song on this landing page, including all platforms like Spotify and Bandcamp, the music video on YouTube, lyrics & liner notes and merch with the artwork by Daggers Design!

WHOSE SINGLE? OUR SINGLE!

The release continues where we left off with Together. An uptempo, melodic track, the type that we love to write and play. Thematically this song deals with our public space and how “public” it is these days. Dedicated to everyone that lives on the streets and depends on public services and accommodation for their daily life and livelihood. And to anyone that can’t find a public bathroom, is fined for drinking in public or gets kicked out of a skate spot.

The music video footage is taken from the New Road Sessions episode we recently shot, more about that soon! The audio is recorded and mixed by Tim van Doorn at Big Dog Recordings and mastered by Nico van Montfort at XPZ Sound.

WHOSE TOUR? OUR TOUR!

We’ve got a lot of shows coming up and we’re very eager to play our new single, so come check this new tune live! As always, info & tickets via our website.


That’s it for now, thanks for reading our newsletter! We love hearing from you, so don’t be shy, hit reply! In the next episode you will find the live session we recently did…

Take care, Ben, Riekus & Willem

NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2025: Tour And Single

There’s all sorts of horrible things happening in the world at the start of twentytwentyfive. But if you like to see us live or love to hear new music from us, we’ve got some news to hopefully cheer you up a little!

Deutschland & Die Schweiz

Behold, this is a big one! If you apply the right standards this will be our biggest tour through Germany and Switzerland! We’re really looking forward to return to cities we’ve been playing for ages like Hamburg, Berlin and Hannover. But we’re equally excited to make our debut in cities like Bottrop, Oerlinghausen and finally play Switzerland again!

Info and tickets via our website.

Shirt

With a new tour poster comes new merch! The beautiful design was created by Daggers Design and we couldn’t NOT make shirts of it! You can (pre-)order them via our web shop. Packages will be sent out before the tour starts on Feb 20.

Fresh Release

What better excuse to go on the road again than new music?! We’re eager to share our new single WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS! on February 18! A tiny toot from our own little horn: this new song is a skate punk anthem about our public space, how “public” it is these days, and who gets to use it. Where gentrification, hostile architecture and skate punk culture meet. Let’s crack a beer to that! (You’ll get that reference once you hear the song…)


That’s it for now, thanks for reading our newsletter! Don’t be shy, hit reply; we love hearing from you… In the next episode you can listen to our new single!

Take care, Ben, Riekus & Willem
