Have you checked out the new ColtonXpunk release yet? Here is what Duisburch thinks about 'isolation':

GIULIO GALAXIS habe ich nie gehört, obwohl ich mit dem Measy ja schon über Jahre lose verbunden bin. COLTON sind sozusagen die Nachfolger. Und da ich nichts über Entwicklung und so schreiben kann, muss ich einfach sagen, dass das hier eine echte Wand ist. Die Musik schwingt so zwischen großen me...

„Monster sind echt und Geister sind auch echt. Sie leben in uns und manchmal gewinnen sie.” - Stephen King -

Spiegel handelt von dem Dämonen, der in vielen von uns ruht. Manchmal schläft er, manchmal ist er wach. Er ist aber immer da. Dann gibt es da die geliebten Menschen, die dir helfen, damit umzugehen und ihn schlafen zu lassen. Niemand muss alleine damit klar kommen. Seid aufmerksam, hört zu und seid füreinander da!

Der Song wird auf dem ColtonXpunk Debüt Album “Isolation” erscheinen, das wir im Herbst auf Vinyl veröffentlichen.

Den Song findet ihr ab jetzt auf allen digitalen Plattformen und bei YouTube als Video.

Weitere Infos zum neuen Album folgen bald!

HELPING HANDS is the closing song of the new Antillectual album TOGETHER, featuring cello parts by Ian Legge. Just like the album opener/title track 'Together', it's a song about being dependent of others. About being part of a society in general and a music community specifically. You need helping hands to get through life and you need to offer others helping hands to get them through their lives.

The new Antillectual song is now available for streaming everywhere.

The full length album TOGETHER comes out in the first week of may but you can pre order your copy on vinyl or CD right here:

Welcoming a new Deadends face...

🔥Welcoming a new face!🔥

Our beloved Brandy not only had to cancel some shows during the last year, but now has to get surgery for his shoulder and will be out of action for the next few months. However, as being a bright young professional is also very time consuming for him, he will take a step back from the band even after his recovery, whilst remaining a full member.

Therefore, with a teary eye and fingers crossed for Brandy, we are nevertheless happy to introduce you to our the new face on our team - meet Leo! Leo and Brandy will be equal parts of the band, will decide who will do which shows and we're all very excited for this new chapter. See Leo at her first shows next weekend:

17.3. Punx Revival 1
18.3. Deadends | Clutch At Straws | The Meadow

also, another huge thanks and high fives to everyone at Kramladenyesterday and especially to Hatsnriver for inviting us!

For the first time in seven years Antillectual announces the release of a full length album and yet again, we will be part of the release.

The album will be called TOGETHER and refers to both the state of the world, the music industry and the band's album approach. The release will be in early may and will be preceded by a single release on March 7.

Current global problems can only be addressed together - Ukraine can’t defeat Putin on its own, nor can we beat climate change without worldwide support. Do It Together!

Physical albums come with lyrics and extensive liner notes. CDs come in a digipak, eco-friendly LPs on transparent yellow vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. As always this will be a co-release with a network of labels from around the globe.

So looking forward to this new Antillectual full album release...
