NEW: CREEPY KARPIS - OH SO HAPPY

We are glad to announce the much anticipated debut EP 'Oh So Happy' by Creepy Karpis on Geertruida!

It's a cassette as raw as you expect from our small but relevant Dutch garage scene, growing strong at the moment with some awesome bands [Iguana Death Cult anyone..]. Creepy Karpis are coming up right now, already playing with the best garage bands of Europe at stages all over the country.

Born in the city of Zwolle, but fondly attached to sweaty basements in Groningen, Creepy Karpis play their reverberated riffs with attitude as one could expect from the north of Holland.

Sold yet? Give it a try on your boombox. Or stream digital if that's your thing. CHARLIE DON'T SURF!

Pre-order it here.

NEW: ODONIS ODONIS - POST PLAGUE

Odonis Odonis' latest epic, POST PLAGUE, delivers a powerful blend of industrial, electronic and SciFi. OO's postapocalyptic anthems construct scenes of scifi horror and saturate them with industrial strength synth beats.
Dean Tzenos' vocals sit clear and upfront, delivered with a foreboding intensity accented by his synth motifs and soundscapes. Denholm Whale's carefully crafted bass figures / electronic percussions are strategically placed like demolition charges throughout the sonic foundations of each track that Jarod Gibson, like some futurist architect, constructs.
On POST PLAGUE Odonis Odonis delivers the kind of hypnotic, pulsing destruction that you can't wipe away.


POST PLAGUE inhabits that impending reality of synthetic experience which forces us to realize what we are: vulnerable, frantic creatures yearning for an authentic present / future. Jeff Goldblum, in the acclaimed motion picture The Fly, reminds us that we must take a "deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool" ,and take stock of ourselves before we lose something profound. Something that may be necessary to ward off a pending anthropogenic apocalypse.

Recognize and take pleasure in our fucked up place in time as we have so many new worlds possible at once.

NEW: HÄXXAN - RODION EP

Häxxan are a mega-huge-garage power trio, born out of a shared love of mega huge garage and playing as live and loud as possible. The three together create an energy that sends them and you to outer-space. All the way from the sands of Tel Aviv this trio brings you the best of what garage has to offer, making your ears bleed and your skin boil.

In the quest to infect more people with pure Häxxan energy the band is bringing their fuzz-garage and their contagious melodies (and alien t-shirts..) to ears all across the world this spring, touring with a brand new 7" called 'Rodion'!


This is one good looking piece of vinyl we are proud to co-release with German label Twintoe Recs.

CHRISTMAS EP 2015

Geertruida is back with a corny ass Christmas EP.

Once again we asked some fine bands for their take on what a Christmas song should be like. The results are in and Geertruida Christmas EP II is here!
Corny, tacky, lame all in the true spirit of baby Jesus Christ and his extended family. If you don't believe in the holy baby, then strap on your Viking helmet and start burning some Christmas trees. Happy listening.

NEW RELEASE: HÄXXAN

Häxxan are a mega-huge garage band from sunny Tel-Aviv. Geertruida released their debut album on a killer cassette. This album has previously been released in Germany by Heroic Leisure. Next to that we've got them over for three dates in the NL while they are on their fall tour!

Last year the band nearly destroyed our Geertruida house after a legendary set captured by Tom Roelofs. This tour you can catch them at Le Mini Who during our Geertruida showcase at ACU, or Vondelbunker Amsterdam alongside the famed Iguana Death Cult for a double cassette release party, celebrating our releases with both of these great bands. Don't miss it!
