We recorded 3 tracks, completely live: Heads You Win, Tails We Lose, The Invisible Hand Meets The Visible Fist and Europe, This Is Your Final Countdown. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did recording it!

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

Final NOFX show after movie
After movie for the final Dutch NOFX show in Eindhoven, May 19, 2024: We expected it to be a crazy show and it ended up being exactly that!
The weather threw us a curveball: we had to put on sunblock during soundcheck because the sun was burning a hole through my skin. Second memory is plugging in our guitars to start the set, looking up and seeing a curtain of rain pouring down over the people in front of the stage. What a way to start…
We had some true “strijders” in front of us risking their health and pulling everyone through the rain. When the sun finally came out a huge wave of people that had been sheltering from the rain and watching us from afar rushed to the stage, truly heartwarming <3

NEWSLETTER MAY 2024: Deutsche and Dutch shows
We’re not even halfway 2024 and we’ve been all over the place already! And we’ve still got many visits left! France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the United Kingdom were great, Germany and The Netherlands are looking extremely promising!
Done
Our 2 week tour to France, Spain and Portugal was really something! It had been a while since we last visited, but it was incredible seeing our friends there, playing our new tunes for them and making new friends at that! We finally made it back to the UK for Manchester Punk Fest, and we were pleasantly surprised following up our recent little Italy trip! We took some photos of our adventures and posted them on the news feed of our website.
From shots of the tour with Pussy Riot we created a nice lyric video for “Support Bands” together with Bram Bergs. It felt fitting: a song about bands supporting people and movements under pressure. Let them know that they’re not alone, people across the world are rooting for them!
To do
Coming up next is the very last NOFX show that will happen in the Netherlands, in Eindhoven on May 19. Also featuring Circle Jerks, Heideroosjes, Negative Approach, Itchy and the Last Gang. We can’t even comprehend what this event is going to be like, but we’re more than ready to give our all singing them farewell!
After recovering from the NOFX hangover, we’ve got 4 shows in Germany, including guaranteed fun times in some of our favorite cities Berlin and Hannover:
22.05 Krefeld, Kulturrampe w/ Molly Punch
23.05 Hannover, Stumpf w/ Chester Park, Couchdivers
24.05 Berlin, Badehaus w/ Good Views, Bad News
25.05 Bielefeld, Fairticken w/ Sleepless Nights
And in June we will be hitting our Dutch home turf:
07.06 Den Haag, PAARD w/ Cooper
14.06 Gouda, So What w/ STiCKFiGS
21.06 Uden, De Pul
Info and tickets for all of the shows above can be found on the tour list on our website.
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 about our fall plans!
Take care, Ben, Riekus & Willem
