Here is the story.....ANTiSEEN started in 1983 with founding members Jeff Clayton and Joe Young. Named as a mis-spelling of the term anti - scene, meaning, against any scene that has it’s own rules, code of conduct, fashion and chain of command by hip scenesters. It’s only ROCK ’N" ROLL and we LOVE it!!!
By 1993 the group toured with what is now known as the "classic" line up of Clayton, Young, Tom OKeefe and Greg Clayton. A few personal changes later and we are with the current line up of Clayton, Young, Greg Clayton and Doug Canipe.
The band has done five full European tours and played all over the USA .With well over 50 releases world wide (many already into numerous repressings) they started the "southern punk" image that many latch onto today. The band backed up now legendary scum lord GG ALLIN on his first post - prison release "MURDER JUNKIES" and also recorded with guitarist / song writer for the original ALICE COOPER group, Michael Bruce. Live shows consist of violent bursts of musical blitzkriegs,and an unhealthy dose of Pro Wrestling influence that features barbed wire wrapped baseball bats or crowns of barbwire that cause REAL bloodshed (another thing many have latched onto) and the occasional auto self destruct finale that got them labeled "Destructo Rock" early in the group’s history.
Twenty two years later the band shows no sign of packing it in or making changes to impress any major labels ( so ....no turntables or djs kiddies). They call the Orange County based TKO RECORDS home and have released the latest studio album BADWILL AMBASSADORS plus many more DVDs, 7"s and the Vault of ANTiSEEN CD re-issue series. Is the end in sight? Until then.........FUCK ALL Y’ALL!!!!!!!
