Antillectual

**Antillectual** is a politically charged punk rock trio from Nijmegen, Netherlands, who’ve been blending sharp social commentary with fast-paced melodies since forming in 2000. Known for their DIY ethos and grassroots activism, the band—Willem Hartogs (vocals/guitar), Michiel van den Heuvel (bass), and Tom van Ekris (drums)—crafts anthems that tackle inequality, corporate greed, and global justice. Their sound merges the urgency of ’90s skate punk with melodic hardcore influences, earning them a dedicated following in Europe’s underground scene.

Recent releases like *Whose Streets? Our Streets!* and *TOGETHER* showcase their unrelenting energy and commitment to community-driven themes, while *Covers EP* and *Hanging on the Telephone* nod to their punk roots with reimagined classics. Whether rallying against systemic issues (*If You’re Not Outraged*) or celebrating solidarity (*Support Bands*), Antillectual remains a voice for dissent, touring relentlessly and collaborating with like-minded artists to amplify their message of resistance and hope.
