9/10
This album proves why this band are one of Europe's leading punk bands, but it also has me questioning whether or not the best? Personally, though, I can't label one band as the [...]

AntillectualWaves 7”
Antillectual are from Nijmegen, Netherlands. Waves was released to coincide with their US tour this past summer. They pack six songs onto this 7”, three new songs on the A-side and three from their last full length on side B. The first song especially sounds like the second Propagandhi [...]
Antillectual TestimonyCD, The Shield, Antillectual.com
Let me be clear from the start: Antillectual is one of the best Dutch punk rock bands around. The band proves that with their album Testimony. It is not only furious fast melodic punk but from time to time the band likes to slow things down. Antillectual sticks to DIY-principles and [...]

Antillectual, Waves
Friday May 02nd, 2008Square of Opposition, 2007Author: Michael
Score: 7.5 / 10
Straightforward hardcore/punk. That is what The Netherlands' Antillectual offers up on Waves. This 7” features three new songs and three songs from their previous full-length.Antillectual serves up fast-paced hardcore punk with melody streamlined into the songs' structures. Musically I'd compare them to Strike [...]

Antillectual – TestimonyRise Or Rust Records2008
YES! Finally the Netherlands' best punkrock band has released a full length record again! Except for a 7" in 2005 ANTILLECTUAL haven't released anything in the last two years. Therefore it is such a nice surprise that they are back again with a new record called "Testimony" which starts [...]
Antillectual – Testimony
8 /10
Antillectual from the Netherlands are the antithesis of their band name. This young band, who just released their second album, not only packed a lyrics sheet into the splendidly looking digipak, but they also explain the background of every song, which is a good idea, as it makes you understand their motivations [...]
ANTILLECTUAL TESTIMONY (SHIELD)
The Nijmegen and Arnhem based Antillectual is possibly Holland’s hardest working punkrock band. Even before the release of their debut album “Silencing Civilization” in 2005 the band frequently performed live. After that release endless tours through Europe and the USA followed. The frequent playing caused Antillectual’s growth from a band that reproduced Propagandhi, [...]
Antillectual – Testimony (Shield Recordings)
Antillectual is the only Dutch DIY band, besides No Turning Back, that is willing to take that next step in music. Touring constantly across the globe to spread their music and message, these three guys from Nijmegen and Arnhem wholeheartedly dedicate their lives to this band. Where most bands try it, [...]
Antillectual Silencing Civilization 2005
Angry YouthReview by: ThomPunkAheaddotcom
This band should be a popular one with Orgcore punkers though probably will be unknown due to their location being the Netherlands. Across Europe they're getting better known with the three of them touring regularly; however, they toured across the eastern USA last summer with across-the-pond friends Static Radio.
Now, [...]
ANTILLECTUAL "TESTIMONY" 2008
This highly anticipated second album from this band, which hails from Holland since 2000, is a piece of good Punk-Rock, with hardcore riffs and catchy chorus, which will knock you down!
With the lyrics focused on both political and personal issues, the themes talk about war/anti-war, trends and commercialism! Musically speaking, the production is [...]

Antillectual “Testimony” CD(Shield/Sonic Rendezvous)
The craftsmanship and melody that form the quality of the Antillectual live shows now finally have been recorded on the album “Testimony”. With this album the band is in no way inferior to likeminded bands like Rise Against, Strike Anywhere and Hot Water Music. The political punk [...]
Antillectual-Waves 7" (Square of Oppositon)
I'm late jumping on this, as it came out this past summer specifically for a US tour the band did. Antillectual are from the Netherlands, but you'd never guess it from listening to them. The music sounds very West Coast US. It's pretty melodic and poppy (but still fast and edgy) [...]
Antillectual – "Testimony" (No Reason Records)
File under: melodic hardcore/punk
Reference: Propagandhi, With Honor, Crime In Stereo, No Trigger, Much The Same.
It seems like I’m listening to the new album by the great Propagandhi, but it is "only" the debut record from the Lodi based No Reason Records from Dutch band Antillectual. Our old friends ("Silencing [...]
Antillectual – Testimony
by pureandsimple
band: Antillectualalbum: Testimony
From mid-tempo melancholic post-punk to thrashing punkrock! Antillectual is far from ashamed to militantly show its versatility on the bands second full-length album. Indeed, Silencing Civilization’s successor is a straight up hit! Recognizable melody, emotion, and passion combined with somewhat unconventional structures, inventive guitar riffs and vocal harmonies. Propagandhi meeting [...]
Antillectual – Testimony cd (No Reason Records, 2007)
The record actually doesn’t come out in our country till March, and therefore I’m reviewing this album in advance: Antillectual – the latest addition to No Reason Records’ catalog – coming from Nijmegen, the Netherlands, play a mixture of punk-hardcore in the style of the labels’ previous releases [...]
