Lyrical content means a lot to us (and we hope to you as well), that's why we always include lyrics and liner notes in our physical artwork and add them to release landing pages.

We also add them to Bandcamp releases, and now we're finally able to add them to Spotify too! So please check our ANTILLECTUEEL EP with Dutch lyrics on Spotify and sing along!

ANTILLECTUAL 25y! April 2, 2022: SHRED FEST!

It's been 5 years now, but The Pandemic is still a breaking point/period to many. A farewell to music for some, a starting point for others.

Zwolle, April 11: Skroetfest!

We had the pleasure of playing with Skroetbalg last month and we're pumped to be playing their own festival with an incredible lineup! Stompen met de Skroet

We've played Zwolle quite a few times in the past, since Zwolle has a lively DIY scene also in squatted spaces. Pics from Sep 13, 2003 at CO-9 by Mark BBK and Photo Mike Nicolaassen.

When Lee from Hike The Peak asked me (Willem) not just to do guest vocals but really write lyrics and add a vocal line for their instrumental track I immediately confirmed. The track "Reach The Top" is out now, as a double A side single featuring Judo Chop!

ANTILLECTUAL 25y! March 11, 2005: Our first ever album release!

We recorded our first full length album Silencing Civilization at the end of 2004, with Menno Bakker at the Bunt Studio in Utrecht. The first serious recording we ever did, with someone we looked up to because Menno had been recording all the bigger Dutch bands; Undeclinable Ambuscade, NRA, Bambix, ao. I remember our friends in Laternpoll recorded with him not long before us and they sounded am... read on at https://antillectual.com/25y
