Band of the Day: Artrodese, Punk and Bass From Rotterdam

Who they are

Artrodese is a punk and bass unit. The label press text names vocalist Joop van Reede as the project’s live frontman. It credits his past bands as Jesus Crost and Sick of Stupidity. Both of those bands come from Rotterdam. The Jesus Crost Bandcamp lists the Dutch port city as home. Sick of Stupidity tagged its 2015 album One Shot, One Kill with Rotterdam, fastcore and powerviolence. That album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Tonmeisterei Studio in March 2015. The credits list vinyl on Rødel Records, the CD on Give Praise and a tape on RAPS. Artrodese works from a different recipe. The press text describes nineties style drum and bass and jungle under spitfire punk vocals. The band’s own wording is quoted as “No slow, all go”. The label’s stated comparison is Sleaford Mods played at 45rpm.

Discography

Tilt is the unit’s full-length debut, released June 4, 2026. Give Praise lists no earlier Artrodese titles in its Bandcamp catalogue. The album stands as the project’s first long-form statement. Nine tracks run 33:32 in total. The opener shares its title with the album and lasts 2:13. Waves follows at 3:02, Streets at 3:05 and Corridors at 4:24. Grief runs 2:37, and the track named 1234 runs 2:27. Impact lasts 3:45. The two closers are the longest pieces: Hazy at 6:25 and Eucalyptus at 5:34. Every track title is a single word or a number. Album tags add punk, fastcore, grindcore, hardcore and powerviolence alongside the electronic styling.
