Antillectual come from Arnhem in Holland and play a similar type of political punk rock to that of Propagandhi or a slightly toned down Strike Anywhere. Released on Fond of Life this 10-tracker is actually very good. It’s hard-hitting and full of awesome riffs yet manages to be melodic and full of singalongs too. many bands fail to get the balance right and end up too far to one side, but Antillectual get it right. ‘Sponsorship For Life’ probably nails it best; a very good track with strong lyrics and a very catchy harmony. But don’t let the melodies fool you – the band have something to say as ‘Waves’ and ‘Benefit of the Doubt’ prove. This is a good solid record and well worth checking out.
