And it seems we are back! And we’re very happy with that. Some features will still be added, but we’re up and running, and that’s what matters most. We have two (2) tour reports to announce. One from our tour through Germany in February/March of this year the we forgot to put up here. The other one is from our tour through Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria in May. Enjoy!

Furthermore we are happy to announce a tour with our European political punker colleagues of Rentokill! Check the shows section for when and where exactly. A nice package to have an enjoyable evening with I presume. On top of that Tom from Smash the Statues will be joining us on the road despite his here and there somewhat peculiar taste in music. Kidding, we love him. And not only for coming on tour with us. We are still in need of one (1!) show, let us know if you want to help us out.

Today we also received our new and acoustic “Pull the Plug” 7″. In case you want to order one let us know. It costs 5 euro and contains four (4!) songs. And we’re extremely happy with the PINK result. More info will follow soon in our merch section. You can listen to a song on our myspace page.

In the mean time we keep adding more and more “local” shows in between our busy touring schedule. Check the shows section for those and let us know if you want us to play your metropole too. More (+) news soon!

Sunday we got home from an incredibly enjoyable tour which brought us to some new places and got us in touch with some new faces. A tour report will obviously follow soon. Right now we are recovering and looking forward to the Dutch shows we have lined up for now. We'll even try out some acoustic songs on not so acoustic shows. Ah well, come and see!

At this very moment we're changing this very website from its very server, so there might be a chance that emails get stuck in between. If so, please resend your emails to antillectual@gmail.com. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi there! We're about to go on tour, it's less than a week away. We're excited! Somehow the show-section isn't working (don't look at me, I'm a technofoob!). But if you want to know where we're playing, please check our myspace, that's always updated. Hope to see you soon! Love. Rage. Always. Yvo

UPDATE: stuff should be working again. If you ever find the shows page to be empty, drop riekus a line at riekus at antillectual dot com.

Some small updates. First of all we'll be playing with a band that was a major influence on us when we started this band: No Use For A Name. Really exciting to be sharing the stage with them. And, as if it isn't enough, Only Crime will be playing too that night. Speaking of "All stars".

And for some reason it slipped through our fingers, but from now on you can find all our lyrics on this website. Look here for Testimony lyrics and here for Silencing Civilization lyrics. If it's written it's true! We also added the USA tour shirt we brought home to the merch section.

Furthermore we expanded our online hegemony through creating both a Twitter account and Last.fm group. Click on them to find out what is what and sign up or join if you feel like it. They are both still pretty much in a starting phase, so feel free to fire them up.

That's it. Hope to see you on the UK tour we're leaving for in exactly 1 week.

So we're back from one tour, and have announced the next one as well. A lot is happening over here. And to keep you up to date as much as possible we'll try to update this site a little more often. Feel free to comment on stuff we're posting. "Communication is what it's all about" sing two major bands, so let's do it.

First of all, if you happen to have/find reviews, pictures, videos, whatever from our USA tour, please send them or a link to us. We like to keep track and collect a lot of souvenirs this way. A written tour report and the last episode of the tour video report are to come.

For the Americans that are looking for ways to order our merch cheaper than from us (shipping costs and stuff) check out Jump Start Records for the Testimony LP. For the CD/LP of Silencing Civilization and the Testimony CD get in touch with Square of Opposition Records. He is more up to date with his email than with his website. Don't you worry. Square of Opposition also has some left over T-shirts from our USA tour up for sale. Soon they will be for sale through this website too. About that; we sold out some old shirt designs and updated this on the merch section. The remastered Silencing Civilization CDs and LPs are available for ordering.

We also found some new reviews of Testimony in German at Waste of Mind fanzine and Blueprint Fanzine, in English in Can You See the Sunset, Punktastic. On top of that the German zine Ox did an interview with us. You can find the online version here. Soon there will be an interview on ipunk.cz and Last Hours. As if we wouldn't let you know.

Phil from Black Numbers Records (Static Radio, Purpose, Rock,star) asked us if we would like to participate in a Kid Dynamite tribute "Carry the torch" they are releasing together with Copper Lung Records and Get Outta Town Records. And of course, we're honoured. There's a list of already confirmed other bands which is quite exciting. So next weekend we'll be recording Kid Dynamite's "Wrist rocket" and perhaps some demos for our own new songs. If there's enough time though.

For now we hope to see you at the Speak Out Fest which can't go wrong with a line up like this: Smoke or Fire, Fake Problems, Tenement Kids, Brat Pack, Rush 'n Attack, Omission, Brito.
