Biography

Eindhoven, Netherlands (2006 – present)

Fourteen Twentysix is the cryptic alias of Dutch’ atmospheric rockband, founded in Eindhoven in 2006.

Fourteen Twentysix delicately layes experimental alt/post rock, brooding electronics and fragile singer/songwriter, into melancholic, filmic songs. This is not music for the masses but music that demands listeners to take their time, allowing them to discover something new and different with each rotation. Started in 2006 as a solo project by ex-drummer Chris van der Linden, the project quickly grew into an exceptionally hardworking group that never fails to deliver on stage. The band has shared the stage with bands such as Turin Brakes (UK), Antimatter and Lis Er Stille.

The band, a self proclaimed group of “DIY professionals”, led bynChris van der Linden, is known to take its reputation quite seriously. Resigning from the international band contest Emergenza after winning its first round with a record total audience votes, the band acquired both media attention as well as applause from fellow artists. Openly questioning the moral values of such ‘shootout’ band contests, Chris commented “We aim to be commercial, not sellouts”.

Fourteen Twentysix are an advocate of modern, fast rising phenomena such as social media and free music distribution, has generated over 55.000 free music downloads, utilizing the power of the internet through websites such as Bandcamp, Last.
