Antillectual

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

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

Another extremely fun tour in the books: ITALY! Probably our nicest Milano show, first time Modena and a completely crazy night in Pordenone! Thanks to Teste Ribelli Fest for the invite and everyone else helping out with the good times. And the food, there was a lot of it; we like food, food tastes good!
Grazie mille, alla prossima!

Pre-orders have been shipped and the rest is ready for tour and also available via our store. Please, take into account that we can’t ship orders while we’re on tour…

Media circus

Last month we found ourselves in the eye of a media storm after BUMA/Stemra, the Dutch performing rights association, released their 2023 music export report. They put us in 5th position as the only band in the top 10. The other 9 were mostly millionaire DJs, so we were sticking out like a sore thumb, which triggered national media to write about this band they had never heard of. We got featured on TV and radio shows, the national news, in the big newspapers; shit escalated quickly! We compiled a 45 minute video with all the (Dutch) interview footage to give you an idea of what hit us!

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 will find out how our tour was!

Take care, Ben, Riekus & Willem
