Antillectual

This might sound like mixed signals, but we want to take a new approach to releasing music. We will of course continue creating new music. But instead of bundling new songs for a new album, we will write, record and send them out to the world one by one. Today we’re pleased to bring you our first new single: Heads You Win, Tails We Lose!

The single on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes and Deezer. Find lyrics, liner notes and the song via all other platforms here.

This song is a response to the current populist wave. Trump is a big idiot and unfortunately part of a worldwide epidemic. The video was shot on the Loud & Rising Tour through the Netherlands with Green Lizard and This Means War last February. The video is put together by our friend, Italian video maker Claudio Stanghellini. Bonus feature: the last ever footage of our old van …

What’s a new release without new merch? Dark Roast designed the Heads You Win, Tails We Lose artwork and FairTradeMerch printed beautiful shirts. With each shirt comes a download of our new single and a poster of the artwork. Order here!

Like the last 2 editions Friends First Fest 2017 was a total blast! 2 days of punk rock fun, friends and bands. Our friend and Italian film maker Ivana Smudja made a recap for those that couldn’t be there. Enjoy, (re)living the good times, hope to see you at FFF 2018!

It’s only a couple of days left before it’s the end of the year. Traditionally we “do” our last show of the year at De Onderbroek in Nijmegen at our very own Friends First Fest! This year will be a special edition spread over 2 days with bands from close to home and from a little further away. With new bands and bands that we grew up on. And with proper afterparties: DJ Bobby Brat (Th Dec 28) and live punk rock karaoke from Singalong Riot (Fr Dec 29)! Proceeds will go to causes worth supporting: Solidarity Not Silence, Animal Equality and AFA Nederland.

We hope to see you all at De Onderbroek on December 28 and 29 to celebrate good music and the end of the year.
