WERE BACK!!! . COME WELCOME OUR NEW GUITARIST ERIC!!!!! FROM WWW.STREETANTHEMRECORDS.COM
The ANTAGONIZERS originally formed in 2001 and has gone through more members than we care to mention. The only good thing is that they’ve all been friends and we are all still friends to this day. With each reincarnation of the band throughout the years, the level of talent has noticeably & steadily increased. ANTAGONIZERS have once again reached new heights and now possesses what we feel to be the strongest line-up with its current members. Founding member, Bohdan (vocals), along with Allen (guitars) whom is one of the remaining longtime members from previous line-ups have been joined by Dan (bass/backup vocals), Dominic (guitars/back-up vocals) and newest member Chuck (drums). To those who have seen an ANTAGONIZERS show, it is needless to say that the band’s live performance is a true display of alcohol-fueled power, wholehearted energy & spirit, and street punk pride. Oh, and of course there are always plenty of spontaneous shenanigans.
- THE MEMBERS -
BOHDAN
Bohdan has been in various bands over the years to include Vibram 94 out of NYC, which had a release on Helen of Oi! Records and Sta Press Records, the latter of which he consequently owned and operated. As vocalist for Cut Throat from Bohdan’s hometown of Cleveland, the band had an album entitled Dirty Byrd that was released on Knock Out Records in Germany.
ALLEN
Allen has been playing guitar for 14+ years as well as teaching lessons for over 8 years. In addition to ANTAGONIZERS, you can see Allen performing in other bands from Durham, Vanguard & Blood Red River.
DAN
Dan has actually been pulling duty on bass in the past, and has also recently returned to pick up where he had left off throwin’ down some killer bass lines as well as backing vocals.
DAVE COTY
Drummer for last two years. Has played with us from Boston, nyc, dc and in between. Also plays with Blood Red River. Hes our Paid For Drummer. Kinda like a mail order whore.
ERIC "DOC"
When asked to tell us a bit about himself, this is what we got."if i write it myself, i sound like a cocky fuck: so heres some bullet points. arrange them how you will. playing guitar 10+ years played with such bands as Semantics, the Villians, and Smiling Foe been doing this shit all my life." Ill add that this kid rocks. Brings a fresh young breath or blazing leads and energy and backups that make Ozzie think twice about howling at the moon again. ...bohdan
