DESCRIPTION:
Performing at The Pour House Music Hall in Raleigh, North Carolina on Sunday September 4, 2016.

Long before it was fashionable, somewhere in the red clay rolling hills of rural North Carolina where time stands still and mass media culture merely flies over, a young Jeff Clayton was stewing up a mash of crazed ideas inspired by late night horror flicks, Saturday morning wrestling and the scratchy old records of Alice Cooper and Black Oak Arkansas.

It was a potent and hazardous mix that, when given the blasting cap of punk rock, ignited one of the most infamous and iconic bands in rock & roll; ANTiSEEN.

Now, over thirty years later, Clayton still leads the charge - a bloodstained barnstorm of southern fried punk rock fury. Times and taste may change, but ANTiSEEN does not; diesel-fume piss and vinegar - and damn all the rest. What was once topical has long since become dated... But not ANTiSEEN.

The toxic DNA bleeds thru the muddy roots. The genre defying influence and heritage no longer can be denied. One needs not look very far to recognize it. The spirit is eternal, the reality exceeds the myth...

The name "ANTiSEEN" serves as a deliberate deviation of the phrase "anti-scene". The group not wishing to adhere to standard perceptions of punk rock in specifically and rock music in general. Musically ANTiSEEN draws influence from groups like the Ramones or Stooges; employing short, heavily distorted chord-driven songs largely free of guitar solos or advanced musicianship. The band has a prolific catalogue of over 100 LP's, EP's, CD's and DVD's recorded with various line-ups and have performed all over the world.
