ANTIPRODUCT PREVIEW
FRIDAY 4th AUGUST
AntiProduct’s unique sound comes from a combination of the classic elements of punk, arena rock, metal and pop. Fast becoming one of the most talked about bands in the underground scene, the Kerrang! Award-nominated party-metal crew have performed to metal-hungry audiences all over Europe, including a riot inducing show on Italian TV. According to frontman Alex Product, the biggest hint to what the band are all about is in the name.
Eschewing conventional culture and going their own way to the extreme, AntiProduct are vanguards of anti-establishment metal. From their sell-out live shows to their critically acclaimed albums, AntiProduct cannot be called conventional but are unarguably successful. The future’s bright for AntiProduct – the band continue to tour relentlessly around the world and have appearances at plenty of the world's best festival shows on their CV.
This touring schedule (averaging over 150 shows a year) has built the band a devoted and rabid worldwide following, APRA (AntiProduct People's Rock Army), whose dedication to the band 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, in the name of "cheap, sensationalistic publicity stunts", blocked rush hour traffic in London by getting naked on top of a van driving through the streets; been bathed in urine and worn raw, festering meat in public as part of a fake American TV game show called "AntiProduct"; puked on England's most hated celebrity radio DJ/mogul, Chris Evans; and, at a photo shoot for fashion trendsetter The Face, eaten live worms to the delight and disgust of all. Their single, "The Better Than This Maxi-Single Box Set", was included in The Guinness Book of World Records as the longest single in history, clocking in at a weighty 55 minutes and featuring 16 tracks! And, as they infiltrate the mainstream through their doctrine of "Cheesecore", they promise even bigger insults to all things status quo.
"Don't get me wrong, I long for death as much as the next guy," explains the singer, "but if this is the end, I intend to party with my people. Rome wasn't burnt in a day."
