We're a punkrock trio from Nijmegen, the Netherlands. We've toured and released albums worldwide since 2005. We like our punkrock political and melodic, combining the best of ’90’s skatepunk, ’00’s emo and ’10’s orgcore.
More about us
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!

The little tour with PUSSY RIOT was intense: their passion and tenacity is very impressive and inspiring! If you have the chance to catch them, go check them out! Inform yourself on what’s going on in Russia and support counter culture!

Well, “new”: the pre-order for these kicked off in the previous newsletter. But the TOGETHER artwork patches are 100% new and all merch has arrived at our HQ in the meantime! 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…
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

FRIENDS FIRST FEST #7 was a worthy way to end 2023 with our friends, Lodyne, Bellyacher, Third Ego and Sing Along Riot at De Onderbroek! Jay at Moonboy Films made an after movie; check yourself or check what you missed!
