Antillectual

Last weekend we had the last show of our tour with Ten Foot Pole. It was a truly amazing tour: there really was not one bad show, we made many new friends and last but not least we had an incredible time hanging with the people in Ten Foot Pole and Destiny Tourbooking. German SLAM Magazine wrote this review about our show in München, New-core.de took pictures of us in Saarbrücken and at Punkadeka you can check pictures of our show in Seregno/Milano, Italy.

Some more highlights: tour kick-off in Berlin, playing that crazy boat in Paris, selling out merch in Köln, an over the top crowd going crazy in Ljubljana, “Rio Rock” in Tessenderloo, 90’s reunion vibe in Den Bosch, TFP going balls out in their own shorts, getting new nicknames from Ronaldo Destiny, Mondays and Tuesdays becoming the new weekend, and so much more. Some lesser moments include failing guitars, amps and snares, and a van exhaust that needed replacement, but none of those moments lived up to the peaks this tour brought us.

Time to get some rest you’d think. But no, the next 2 tours are coming sooner than you think!

We have a lot of new shows coming up in the next months. To offer you souvenirs at those shows, or just give you an extra excuse to order that fresh Anti-Flag split from our webshop, we have new zippers and T-shirts available as of now. Inspired by our songs “Soundtrack” and “To All Members of Parliament” we have 2 new designs.

The first available as black zip-up and burgundy T-shirt, the other as a black T-shirt. Designs and apparel provided by our friends at FairTradeMerch to make sure it meets the right standards. Find the new zip-ups and T-shirts (and all our albums, girlies and much more) at our webshop.

Anti-Flag is releasing  a series of 6 EPs in celebration of their 20-year existence. “20 years of Hell” features re-recorded versions of their songs and one new song. The band invited 6 bands to appear on the B-sides of the EPs. Guess who will appear on the 6th and last issue of this series? Yours truly indeed!

We contributed “Soundtrack” and “To All Members of Parliament” that previously appeared on “Perspectives & Objectives”. A-F Records will release the split that is limited to 500 copies, but we will have some limited, imported copies available in our webstore as well.

Side A
Anti-Flag – Close My Eyes (new song!)
Anti-Flag – The Ghosts Of Alexandria

Side B
Antillectual – Soundtrack
Antillectual – Mother Inferior
