AntiProduct is five people (three girls and two boys) who were born in four different countries and cannot boast of sounding, playing or being like any other band... ever. They have just released their second album, 'Made In USA' and are already garnering rave reviews from magazines as diverse as Q, Big Cheese and heavy metal heavyweight Kerrang!. "The party band for the end of the world", says Bang!.

Combining classic elements of punk, arena rock, metal and hyperbolic radio friendly pop played with a nihilistic contempt for everything safe and average, AntiProduct is fast becoming one of the most talked about bands in the underground worldwide. Kerrang! Award-nominated AntiProduct performed in front of metal fans all over Europe and the UK (starting a riot in Italy on live TV), receiving utter loathing or unadulterated adoration at Ozzfest 2002. "The first hint's in the name... 'AntiProduct'," says frontman A. Product.

In the two years since AntiProduct began, the band have toured Japan, the US, the UK and most of Europe. Their critically acclaimed first album "Consume and Die... The Rest Is All Fun" has almost single-handedly kept their record label, Cargo/Livewire, afloat (inside joke - Ed.).

Explaining their reputation for aberrant public behaviour and shameless manipulation of all things media as "ridiculing the same system you exploit", AntiProduct has attempted "cheap, sensationalistic publicity stunts" by blocking rush hour traffic in London on a Monday evening, getting naked on top of a van driving through the streets of London shouting "positive messages" at stunned by-passers; bathing in urine and wearing raw, festering meat in public as part of a fake game show for a fake American TV show called "AntiProduct" and puked on England's most hated celebrity, radio DJ/mogul Chris Evans. And, as they infiltrate the mainstream through their doctrine of "Cheesecore", they promise even bigger insults to all things status quo.

Some of the band's more instantly accessible songs (described as "some of the best choruses ever written" by the UK's Front Magazine) have found their way onto mainstream TV shows on both sides of the Atlantic, such as the WB series "Felicity", NBC Saturday morning teen show "All About Us" and the UK Channel 4 hit series "Teachers".

While you're at it, check out their award-winning website, www.antiproduct.com. It's disgusting! They sell their own bodily fluids - vomit, sperm, menstrual flow, faeces, you name it - as part of their undying closeness and allegiance to the band's most single and most important ally, APRA (The AntiProduct People's Rock Army) - their worldwide family of fans. There's even a page specifically designated to "Body Parts". It makes me sick, honestly.

"Don't get me wrong, I long for death as much as the next guy," explains the singer. "Basically, we get lied to everyday that everything sucks. So if everything sucks, let's party! Rome wasn't burnt in a day."
