ANTiSEEN. How should I describe these legendary Confederary Of Scum leaders...remember Animal Mother in Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket"? Anti-social nihilistic asshole, yet likeable and the best fuckin' soldier in the platoon. You can trust Animal Mother with your life, as you can trust ANTiSEEN's +25 year crusade of Destructo Rock.

This sublime Best Of/25th Anniversary 2discs release is a perfect introduction for rookies to this infamous ....North Carolina.... punkrock outfit. It even includes tracks from rare old EPs and 7"s like "Drastic", "Royalty", "Blood Of Freaks" etc. Musically ANTiSEEN is sorta like Discharge butthumpin' Dead Boys at a Motörhead BBQ hosted by GG Allin. What gives the band a real unique flavor is singer/wrestler/madman Jeff Clayton, who knows how to mix gruff vocals with a rare bluesy almost soulful approach...the Jim Dandy of southern hatepunk? As the Black Oak Arkansas singer, Mr. Clayton also plays the washboard. I first encountered ANTiSEEN on the "Southern Hostility" tour in 1990, and a few times after that notorious gig in Ungdomshuset (of all places, haha). Sure wish they would come back to ....Copenhagen.... again.

Fuckin' ANTiSEEN, their lyrics are pretty interesting; tongue-in-cheek southern gothic satire...or gun crazed NRA Libertarians? A little of both I reckon, they sure won't get any vegan punk fans with the lines like "Animals, Eat 'Em/So You Don't Have To Feed 'Em". Get this 40 track comp (incl. a cool booklet) if you wanna experience what the ANTiSEEN phenomenon is all about...and remember; EAT MORE POSSUM!
