“I know when I listen to NETHERLANDS I’m listening to music that is created to shape our normal into something new. I think this band wants to flip normal on its head and for that fact I love them! Their new album Kali Corvette comes out on Sept. 9th via Three One G. Imagine if Sigue Sigue Sputnik was actually RAD and that Bow Wow Wow created music from an alternative universe, the outcome might sound like NETHERLANDS.”
--Cvlt Nation
In preparation of NETHERLANDS' upcoming album, Kali Corvette, out September 9th, the band has recently premiered videos for tracks "So Sick" on Cvlt Nation, as well as "There's a Glitch in Human Consciousness" with New Noise Magazine. Check them out, below.

Witness the electro-noise-punk of Netherlands’ “So Sick” video, via Cvlt Nation, here.
Lead singer, multi-instrumentalist, compulsive creator, and unrepentant volume addict Timo Ellis (Yoko Ono, Cibo Matto, Sean Lennon, Joan As Police Woman, Spacehog) formed NETHERLANDS in 2010 in NYC. The band has since shared stages with Napalm Death, Melt Banana, Mutoid Man, Yob, Retox, Black Flag, Eyehategod, Flipper, Martin Rev, The Death Set, Moon Tooth, and Witch Mountain, among many others. Now with drummer David Keith (Rainbow) and synth-bassist Kelsey Warren (Blak Emoji), the band continues to reject restraint in favor of maximum impact: shredding chops, soaring vocals, and maddening hooks. Netherlands crushes decades' worth of bombast into psychotropic nuggets of evil sludge-rock bliss, with nods to the dirtbag rituals of 70’s acid rock and punk, the grandeur of 80’s arena rock, and the guttural intensity of 00’s posthardcore.
Kali Corvette will be released on limited vinyl via Three One G Records on September 9th. Preorder, here.
KALI CORVETTE is Netherlands’ 6th full LP, and features all the hallmarks of Ellis’ work; blistering guitar heroics, primal drumming, and searing caterwauls. However KALI CORVETTE veers bracingly into the realm of electro-noise-punk, ratcheting up the intensity into a uniquely weaponized form of rock that reaches towards high art. The record features guest performances by Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), Michael Kubacki (Car Bomb), Tim Dahl (Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, Child Abuse), Daisy Press (Steve Reich) and Suzanne Von Aichinger (The Suzannes.) KALI CORVETTE is another chapter in the book of a band that’s consistently released heavy music on its own terms and with its own undeniable personality. There’s a reason contemporary heavy luminaries like Joe Duplantier of Gojira and Bill Kelliher of Mastodon count themselves amongst Netherlands’ biggest fans, and KALI COREVETTE’s 7 tracks effortlessly demonstrate NETHrock’s potency once again.
