Why do I love The ETTERS so freaking much when I have no idea what they're singing about? Perhaps it's because I actually
do have some idea of what they're singing about without knowing a word of Dutch! It's all in the delivery, isn't it? This band speaks the universal language of punk rock, and you can literally feel its attitude, snottiness, and sheer disregard for all that is proper, respectable, safe, and serious in this utterly lame world emanating from every barbaric note. Who doesn't love a band that's willing to give the middle finger to anyone and anything just for the sheer
fun of it? The title of the new EP
Jij bent een sukkel en The ETTERS zijn gaaf! loosely translates to "You're a loser, and THE ETTERS are cool!" Now that is truly hilarious! Musically, you know what to expect: three more tracks of trashy, obnoxious, and ridiculously catchy garage punk straight out of the heyday of Rip Off Records. You can't beat it! The ETTERS'
debut album from last year can rightfully be called an instant classic, and every additional release they launch into existence is a gift from the music gods.
Jij bent een sukkel en The ETTERS zijn gaaf! is their third EP of 2026 and as every bit as essential as the previous two. In a world where there are constant demands on your time and attention, The ETTERS have treated us to an EP that will consume less than four minutes of your precious time today. But something tells me you'll listen more than just once.
