London based AntiProduct is a rock ‘n’ roll band consisting of five people (three boys, two girls), born in four different countries on three different continents, that cannot boast of sounding, being or looking like any other band...ever! Praised by raves reviews from magazines as diverse as Q, Spin, Rolling Stone, Big Cheese, and heavy metal heavyweight Kerrang!—AntiProduct just finished a new third independently released album “THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ANTIPRODUCT” with Grammy Nominated producer Sylvia Massy.
AntiProduct recently completed a US tour opening for Wednesday 13 obtaining accolades as one of three (“UK Artists Creating Year-End Buzz” reported ASCAP), as their infamous live performance did not disappoint (“Building cult-like rabid fans” quoted The Baltimore Examiner) and (“was the highlight of the night, they could have headlined, they kicked ass and it was hard for the other acts to top it!” wrote ‘underground elite’ Rock N Roll Experience.)
One of the most successful DIY bands of all time, AntiProduct was most recently featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno performing their song “Bungee Jumping People Die” and can currently be heard on US radio stations ranging from West Coast trendsetters such as Indie 103.1 and KROQ to AM Hit Radio stations such as WEIM on the East Coast. Dunkin Donuts has
licensed the AntiProduct track “Best Day Of Your Life” as part of their huge “America Runs On Dunkin” TV ad campaign.
Combining elements of punk, arena rock, metal, and hyperbolic radio friendly pop played with a nihilistic contempt for everything safe and average, AntiProduct is fast becoming one of the most talked about bands in the rock ‘n’ roll underground worldwide.
The near legendary AntiProduct live experience (“Britain’s Best Live Band,” raves the Daily Mirror) has seen them tour the UK, Japan, USA, and most of Europe several times with Ozzfest, Twisted Sister, The Muderdolls, The Wildhearts, The Damned and Hanoi Rocks as well as literally hundreds of headline stints all their own. AP is regularly called on by Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Marky Ramone to perform chaos inciting sets of AntiProduct versions of Ramones classics with Marky playing drums. Kerrang! Award-nominated AntiProduct performed for metal fans all over Europe and the UK with Ozzfest (starting a riot in Italy on live TV as well as the now infamous “Queen Mother” AP introduction to the UK Ozzfest), receiving utter loathing or unadulterated adoration. “The first hints in the name... AntiProduct,” says their frontman, known as A. Product from beneath his giant trademark painted on smile.
AntiProduct completed material for their third album with acclaimed producer Sylvia Massy (Johnny Cash, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, System of a Down and Tool, etc) in both the US and the UK, AntiProduct look forward to spreading their warped sense of fun and anti-disestablishmentarianism (“The most fun band in the world of hard Rock,” The Sun) further into the psyche of
the rock ‘n’ roll world.
Their relentless DIY touring schedule (averaging over 150 shows a year) has built the band a devoted and rabid worldwide following whose dedication is renowned to rival the band’s itself. Explaining their reputation for aberrant public behaviour and shameless manipulation of all things media as “ridiculing the same system you exploit,”
AntiProduct has blocked London rush hour traffic by getting naked on top of a van driving through the streets; been bathed in urine while wearing raw, festering meat as part of a fake TV game show for a Kerrang! Halloween feature (it was the biggest selling issue in Kerrang!’s history); been sick on England’s most hated celebrity radio DJ/mogul, Chris Evans; at a photo shoot for fashion trendsetter, The Face, eaten live worms to the delight and disgust of the fashionistas. The Guinness Book of World Records considers their single, “The Better Than This Maxi-Single Box Set”, the longest single in history, clocking in at a weighty 55 minutes! As they infiltrate the mainstream through their doctrine of “Cheesecore”, they promise even bigger insults to all things status quo.
