Antiseen (often stylized as ANTiSEEN) is an American punk rock band formed in Charlotte, North Carolina by Jeff Clayton and Joe Young in 1983. The name “Antiseen” serves as a deliberate deviation of the phrase “anti-scene” – the group not wishing to adhere to standard perceptions of punk rock in specific and rock music in general. Musically, Antiseen is influenced by groups such as the Ramones and Stooges, employing short, heavily distorted power chord-driven songs largely free of guitar solos or advanced musicianship. The band has a catalogue of over 100 LPs, EPs, CDs and DVDs recorded with various line-ups and have performed all over the world.
The band members consist of vocalist Jeff Clayton, bassist/drummer Sir Barry Hannibal, guitarist Mad Brother Ward, and touring bassist Malcolm Tent. Antiseen remains a touring band as of 2020.
