NETHROCK YouTube Official

Lead singer, multi-instrumentalist, compulsive creator, and unrepentant volume addict Timo Ellis formed NETHERLANDS in 2011 in NYC. Now a power duo, Timo has recorded and played with Yoko Ono, Cibo Matto, John Zorn, The Melvins, Gibby Haynes, Ween, Joan As Police Woman, Spacehog, and White Hills among many others. 

​NETHERLANDS rejects restraint in favor of maximum impact: shredding chops, soaring vocals, and maddening hooks. Following Ellis' mission statement of making music that is equally "light-hearted, brutal, ecstatic", 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 post-hardcore.
