Antisect are a rock band based in London, UK. Their roots are in anarcho punk and metal. Formed in 1982 in Daventry, 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 crust punk style with elements of metal. Antisect are a significant band in the timeline of hardcore punk community, 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, anarchism and social justice, communicating their ideas to a largely punk hardcore audience, and were among the instigators of the squat venue scene in the mid to late 80s. 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.

BREAK AWAY

"cross my heart"
Year:  2017

Tracks:  12
Time:  24 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Hardcore

Break Away is a four piece straight edge hardcore band from Richmond, Virginia. They have a demo and an EP called 'For Life. To me BREAK AWAY exemplifies how a hardcore band is supposed to operate in the year 2017. While many bands are on their couches hoping for that phone call or email to let them know that they are on the next big bill these guys are out there busy with self-promotion, DIY touring, and booking shows in their home-base of Richmond, VA. Since this website started in 2012 I cannot think of many other bands that have promoted their shows and releases like Break Away has. Their latest album “Cross My Heart” on React! Records also shows that they can drop some amazing hardcore as well. In Effect catches up with Break Away frontman (and author) Ace Stallings in this August interview. Graphics by: Bas Spierings.
