(1999 – 2004)

Meaning bandname: It just looks nice we think

Bio: Ill11! started with Illco, Hanz & Hark’oh in february 1999 by playing real powerful punkrock with strong political lyrics. After playing one show we recorded ‘ €50’ containing 15 songs. After a lot of practicing and playing some shows our music developed into a different direction. We recorded ‘Ending System’ in january 2001 which contains 9 songs and are very different from the €50 songs’. In May 2001 we did a tour through Germany and Spain.

Lyrics: The songs contain more hardcore influences and some weirder ‘experimental’ stuff. We are very enthusiastic about playing and writing songs and try to put a message in it so maybe we can try and make a little change, because a lot of things should change in this world, concerning the environment, the ‘third world’, narrow mindedness, racism, sexism, homophobia and a lot more. A lot of these problems are caused by western society, affecting the whole world, especially the poorer countries. Shoving things up their throat and using them as cheap labour. We try to give our views on these things. Still we think you should have fun making music.

Description: Bands who probably influenced our music: Black Flag, El Corazon del Sapo, Dead Kennedys, Sloy, Refused, Melvins, Queen, Inside Out, Fugazi, Snapcase & more
