ANTiSEEN.THE SCOURGE OF THE CAROLINAS... For nearly two decades this band has driven fear into the hearts of the faint, and disgust into the hearts of the politically correct. Making no apologies, ANTiSEEN plows ahead; bulldozing all sacred cows along their path, and putting wicked grins on the faces of those who realize that along with being an American comes the right to exercise free speech--even when wielding a bat covered in barbed wire while draped in a Confederate flag and your forehead is gushing so much blood that Terry Funk would be proud. Jeff Clayton (lead vocals): We've been together for 18 years; this August will be 19 for us. I don't know what the exact count of our releases is up to, but if you count every 7", comp track, and side project, it's up and over 50. Hell yeah, man. Wrestling is the most important thing in life. I love the old NWA NWA Northwest Airlines (ICAO code) NWA Northwest Arkansas NWA National Wrestling Alliance NWA National Weather Association NWA National Works Agency (Jamaica) NWA Network Analyzer , AWA AWA As Well As (internet chat lingo) AWA Animal Welfare Act AWA Australian Workplace Agreement AWA America West Airlines AWA Anime Weekend Atlanta (Anime convention in Atlanta, GA) , and Mid Atlantic stuff we grew up on; all the way up to ECW ECW Extreme Championship Wrestling ECW Episcopal Church Women ECW English Civil War ECW Enhanced Compressed Wavelet (Image compression format created by Earth Resource Mapping) ECW Extracellular Water and the current WWF See Windows Workflow Foundation. ; to all the crazy Japanese stuff like FMW FMW Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (Japan) FMW Fusion Middleware FMW Frosted Mini Wheats (breakfast cereal) FMW Fanfare Media Works Inc. , WING, and BIG JAPAN. Plus the new crop of independents like XPW XPW Xtreme Professional Wrestling XPW Exchange Protection Wizard (NSI Software) ... Life is just one big wrestling angle, anyway. Just a group of bands who get together to throw a party every year. The groups involved to this point besides ourselves are Rancid ran·cid adj. Having the disagreeable odor or taste of decomposing oils or fats. rancid having a musty, rank taste or smell; applied to fats that have undergone decomposition, with the liberation of fatty acids. Vat, Cocknoose, Hellstomper, Limecell, The Tunnel Rats, Bootleg Bill, and The Frankenstein Drag Queens, plus some of the side projects of each of these groups. I get people asking me all the time, "Can we be in the COS?" Truth is, that ain't my department. Besides, more times than not, If ya have to ask...you ain't gonna be in anyway. It's not some little exclusive club either like some people think. We're on some really good working terms with groups who aren't involved in the COS like Born Bavarian, Dead Kings, Hammerlock ham·mer·lock n. 1. A wrestling hold in which the opponent's arm is pulled behind the back and twisted upward. 2. Overwhelming dominance that is difficult if not impossible to overcome: , Rupture, and The Nerds. So, to sum it all up, nothin' but a party. Primitive. Like when time began. Not "sort" of, Joe Young is a politician. He was asked to run by the NC Libertarian Party. He didn't win, but he did pull in 16 percent of the vote against his Republican opponent. He was a friend. We recorded one full length album with him and two singles, one of which was his very last recording ever. We were also fans. He was a big inspiration to us as a band. I didn't agree with everything he said or did, but I had a ton of respect for him as a performer. We must play Japan It is our destiny We'll keep thinking the next year will be our last, but all it takes is for one person to seem like they'd be pleased by our demise and that's enough to keep us going for about another five years. The way I see it, we're committed to at least another 15. Blitherington |
