The Arthurs is an alternative/indie rock band from Amsterdam/Rotterdam (The Netherlands), formed around Dutch singer/songwriter Robin den Drijver. The band distinguishes itself by its’ own unique style and sound. Listening to their melodic, dynamic, raw, beautiful, aggressive, dreamlike and always heartfelt music, will be worth your while.
Their debut album ‘When I’m Sane’ (2017) received positive Dutch press reviews, like the Popunie describing it as a ‘very strong debut and the perfect ticket to the biggest festivals.’ Den Drijver recorded almost all of the instruments on the album himself in his living room, accompanied by drummer Jetske Blonk.
Anno 2020, the lineup includes drummer Blonk, lead guitarist Dylano Hahury and bass player Jelle de Wit. The band is currently recording their second album, this time as a full band, which will be released Spring 2020.
The Arthurs played notable Dutch venues and festivals and shows in Belgium and England. April 2020, they will support English legendary political new wave band Fischer-Z in De Boerderij, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands.
December 2019, the band released their first single and video for their second album: ‘Leave this Town’. A second one, ‘Red Letter Days’, a collaboration with Dutch actress and singer Kiki van Deursen is online now!
