About

New Marshall Plan is a Dutch indie band creating music rooted in the rich traditions of synthpop, rock, and new wave. They were formed more than 20 years ago out of a shared love for bands like Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Radiohead, Interpol, and The Whitest Boy Alive—but for a long time, the songs stayed close to home. In June 2023 they recorded the album “Escalate” at Mailmen Studio with Martijn Groeneveld, known for his work with Blaudzun and Klangstof. The first single dropped in October 2023, and the full album was released on April 4, 2024. Each of the 10 tracks is accompanied by a music video—many of them made using AI, pushing the boundaries of what indie can look like as well as sound like. Lyrically, they don’t shy away from anything. These songs cover themes like corporate greed, war, inequality, misinformation, and the messy reality of human relationships. But there’s also hope in the noise—because for them, making music is an act of rebuilding. The band’s name, New Marshall Plan, reflects that—a nod to Europe’s post-war reconstruction and a metaphor for picking up the pieces in your own life. In 2025, they also released “Bermuda,” a self-recorded album from 2007 that they never properly put out back then. It’s a raw snapshot of who they were, and releasing it now bridges their early ideas with what they are creating today. It’s not as polished as “Escalate”—but it’s real, and it completes their story until now.

New Marshall Plan are Rogier Werschkull, Roeland van der Put, David van Putten, and Bart Koopman.
