Dutch punk trio Antillectual are reclaiming their mother tongue on their upcoming EP Antillectueel, out November 11 on vinyl and digital formats. After more than 20 years of writing and performing exclusively in English, the band makes a radical and timely shift, responding to the politics of exclusion and the global swing to the right. By embracing Dutch, Antillectual channel their anger and urgency directly into the local discourse, transforming personal frustration into political song.

Known for their conceptual EPs, acoustic reinterpretations, covers, and viral Netherpunk jingles, the band continue their tradition with Antillectueel, mixing repurposed favorites with brand-new originals. Ahead of the release, they will drop the single Voorrang Voor Rechts on October 18, strategically aligned with the Dutch elections. With this record, Antillectual don’t just sing against injustice, they sing in a language meant to spark immediate resonance at home, while staying true to punk’s internationalist spirit.
