Antiseen
Encyclopedia
Antiseen is an American
punk rock
band formed in Charlotte
, North Carolina
by vocalist Jeff
Clayton and guitarist Joe Young, the sole members to have remained for the entire existence of the group. 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 draw influence from groups like the Ramones or Stooges; employing short, heavily distorted chord-driven songs largely free of guitar solos or advanced musicianmanship. The band has a catalogue of over 100 LPs, EPs, CDs and DVDs recorded with various line-ups and have performed all over the world.
The band lineup currently includes vocalist Jeff Clayton, guitarist Joe Young, bassist Jon Bowman, and drummer Phil Keller. A great deal of their "classic" material, however, comprised Clayton, Young, Thomas O'Keefe
and Greg Clayton.
After several years playing regularly throughout the East Coast and southern United States, Antiseen embarked on their first major world tour in 1992 performing in 19 countries in Europe and North America. This was repeated semi-annually for the rest of the 1990s. By the close of the decade the group tired of the routine and began to focus on shorter trips concentrating on individual regions (e.g.;the west coast, east coast, midwest etc.) while returning to Europe for festivals.
In 2003 Antiseen staged a twentieth anniversary concert in Charlotte which featured many past members of the group participating during the show. The set was professionally filmed and released on DVD.
The band has a strong love for professional wrestling
. They have displayed this by making musical tributes to various wrestlers, including Cactus Jack
, Sabu, Terry Funk

History
Early Antiseen performances featured bizarre theatrical stage props involving mannequins, fake blood and pyrotechnics. Such performances found the group often banned from clubs unused to such presentations. Eventually the group tired of the logistics and legalities involved with a theatrical stage presentation and phased it out of their act, while increasing the physical mayhem of their stage antics - often destroying their own equipment. Vocalist Clayton began employing acts of self-mutilation, often cutting his face or arms with shards of broken glass or pounding his head with a microphone drawing blood and abrasions.After several years playing regularly throughout the East Coast and southern United States, Antiseen embarked on their first major world tour in 1992 performing in 19 countries in Europe and North America. This was repeated semi-annually for the rest of the 1990s. By the close of the decade the group tired of the routine and began to focus on shorter trips concentrating on individual regions (e.g.;the west coast, east coast, midwest etc.) while returning to Europe for festivals.

Controversy
Antiseen have often attracted controversy for a variety of reasons including allegations of racism. The group often employs the display of the Confederate flag and has made references in several songs cited by critics as homophobic, bigoted and sexist. Despite their confrontational and caustic image, the members maintain their views are largely apolitical and often the meanings of their songs are in fact, satirical. The group has in past incarnations included female, African-American and homosexual members.Discography
