Antillectual

All good things must come to an end! It was kei tof releasing a Dutch EP, doing our biggest national tour yet and seeing people either singing along to our Dutch lyrics or being flabbergasted by butchered classic Dutch songs. But time has come to visit Canada and present a new single!

Hall Of Mirrors

This is an odd one, as it was recorded during the Big Dog Recordings Pizza Session! A weekend long recording session for their 10 year anniversary compilation. Our new single Hall of Mirrors is an early-AFI-inspired track about the shifting perspectives of protest; who is on your side and who isn’t? Check Hall of Mirrors music & video!

Recorded by Tim van Doorn at Big Dog Recordings obviously, recording session music video by Seppe Dausi. The compilation album will be out digitally and on vinyl July 1st via White Russian Records. Also featuring Tusky, Batwölf, F.O.D., Loud Love, Mike Noegraf, St. Plaster, Charlie Bit My Finger, Craig’s Brother, Harsh Realms and Bridle. All profits go to Dog Rescue Greece. Big love for Big Dog!
