A strangler's swagger

And Johnny Ramone will get a sled for a car,
There's a group called The Damned, they say
Who play the four wise men in a play, in a play, IN A PLAY!!

With Eddie & The Hot Rods on the back,
I want a colour TV so I can kick it in
I want an Ace guitar,
And a subscription to Punk Magazine
(Santa) What else do you you want for christmas,
Little boy?
(Boy) I want two copies of God Save The Queen
With a picture sleeve
(Santa) With a picture sleeve?

Your wish will come true

Get mum and dad chic
Get some safety pins for their cheeks

Αντί...



The legendary greek band Αντί... formed around 1984 in Athens, Greece. Their music can be characterized as synth punk made by two harmoniums, one bass and one drum machine, dressed with social, reactionary lyrics that intend to inform, to remind, to warn and although they are romantic or naive, they are pure and still timely, more than ever. What a pity that only people who speak the greek language can understand them.

Here we have the songs from their first self-released demo cassette from 1985 and one unreleased track called "Τελευταία Μπύρα". The LP pressed in 500 handnumbered copies that will be released the next days, but they are already sold out from the pre-orders!

Fuckin' brilliant sound, highly recommended!
