The British hardcore punk band ANTISECT released "The Rising Of The Lights", October 13th, 2017 on Rise Above Records. The eventual release of the band's long-awaited second studio LP saw ANTISECT break new ground and appear in some previously unfamiliar places.
ANTISECT are a hardcore punk band based in London, England. Their roots are in hardcore/anarcho-punk and metal.
Formed in 1982 in Daventry, Northamptonshire, UK, their debut album, "In Darkness There is No Choice", was released in 1983. 1985's follow up EP, "Out From The Void" has often been cited as a game changer amongst their genre for fusing a raw punk rock style with elements of metal.
ANTISECT are a significant band in the timeline of hardcore punk music, said to have been a major influence upon "black-clad, politically charged punks over the last 30 years".
The band address issues including animal rights and social justice, communicating their ideas to a largely punk rock audience, and were among the instigators of the squat venue scene in the mid to late 1980s. During this time members lived the lifestyle of being either on the road or part of the vibrant London squat scene of the time. They toured extensively both in the UK and Europe and though originally splitting up in 1987, the band reformed in May 2011. The band is atm busy preparing for a tour in the States, see all the dates below.
The band consists of:
Pete Lyons - Guitar/Vocals
John Bryson - Bass/Vocals
Joe Burwood - Drums/Vocals
