ANTILLECTUAL
Casually cruising through the streets on a skateboard, punk rock in your ears and being against it, may we introduce: ANTILLECTUAL. They are the musical middle finger against the whole shit
from capital to right-wing populism. No boring pop seminar about the misery of the world, but energetic melodic punk rock from the Netherlands. Not a polished commercialized 08/15 band, but 100% DIY. They still do it themselves, from lugging instruments around to handing over the long-awaited shirt at the merchandise stand. And
And yet they are not grumpy guys, but super likeable guys. Ben, who reminds us of Van Halen with his acrobatic interludes. Then there's Riekus, who fires up the whole spectacle with his driving drumming and not forgetting Willem, singer and guitarist, who fires up the audience with solid lyrics and lush riffs.
Given this dynamic, it's not surprising that Antillectual have already shared the stage with scene greats such as Propagandhi, BoySetsFire, NOFX and Bad Religion since their formation in 2005. They are addicted to playing one show after the other, all over the world and
already over a thousand times. Their albums are everywhere, from the record booth in Tijuana to the punk epicenters in the UK to the selective scene fundus of Asia. So come and join one of the most enthusiastic and probably nicest bands in Europe
the flag for punk!
Current album TOGETHER
Antillectual states that it is only possible to tackle the current global problems together; neither can Ukraine defeat Putin alone, nor can climate change be defeated without global support.
be defeated without global support. Likewise, the band favors a Do It Together rather than a Do It Yourself attitude. They have asked a group of friends from the music industry
to collaborate on this album. Without such partners, and of course the support of the public, Antillectual and their releases would not be possible. And
Finally, there is the togetherness on the album itself: Although the tracks were written and recorded in batches, and some have already been released digitally
digitally, the band wanted to put them all together on one physical release.
