Thank you Maximum Rock ‘n Roll for turning me on to international punk at an early age. One of my favorite parts of the fanzine was the scene reports, especially the international ones – this is how I got into bands from Brazil, Finland, Mexico, Italy and Sweden. A band that stuck in my mind from jump street is ANTI CIMEX; from the very first moment I heard them, I was fucking blown away, back then we did not even have the term D-Beat. We just knew they were influenced by Discharge, but flipped the script to come up with their own take on dis-noize. My homies and I straight wore out their first three EP’s because they created the kind of ballistic ruckus that got us hyped! Honestly, I think there is something in Swedish water that makes it where they know how to create music that is fucking awesome, with the right amount of dis-crust. Are you ready to check out some rare and vintage ANTI CIMEX footage? Peep some real shit after the jump!
