Hi, thanks for checking out Antillectual

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.

Collage of new merchandise items

New merch

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…

Antillectual on Dutch national TV

Media circus

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

17 January 2024 ~ Comments Off on BUMA Top Music Export Product 2023

BUMA Top Music Export Product 2023

So, how was your Blue Monday? We probably had the weirdest day in our band’s history!

BUMA, the Dutch performing rights association, released their music export report of 2023 and put us as the only band in the top 10 on the 5th position. The others in the top 10 were mostly millionaire DJs, so we were sticking out like a sore thumb, which made national media triggered to write about this band they never heard of. We got featured on TV and radio shows, items on the national news, all the big newspapers wrote about it and posted our picture; shit really hit the fan!

Ironically this made us postpone the announcement of our tour for some days, apologies for that, it’s coming soon!
And we still hope to see you at our show at Cafe the Jack in Eindhoven…
