[Antisteez Interview]: Stop The Presses

So back in July I was asked to be a judge for one the Battle of the Bands shows put on by the fine folks over at Critical Recordings. I was kind of meh about it, due to the fact that I don’t hold any certification or magical scroll that says “The bearer of this magical scroll is entitled to say your music sucks”, but I went along with it because I figured I would score some free beer out of it and I would be helping out the Critical dudes in the process. It turned out way better... Read More →

The Riot Agents & The Art of Not Caring

Chances are that if you’ve been to any national punk shows in the South Florida area, you’ve seen Riot Agents. The list of bands that they’ve shared a stage with reads like a Punk Rock hall of fame inductee list. Agent Orange? Check. The Queers? Check. The Vibrators? Check. Battalion of Saints? Check. The Murder Junkies? Check. Shit, they even opened for HR (the certified batshit-crazy frontman of the legendary Bad Brains) when he made his notorious appearance at Churchill’s... Read More →

Educated Hustlers Rock the System

The cool thing about writing about music? Sometimes you sign in to check your otherwise boring ass inbox and find a pretty dope surprise, like I did today. It’s kind of dope when good music just falls in your lap, I’m not gonna lie. Today’s inbox banger comes from Tallahassee…yeah, I said it; TALLAHASSEE (I also said “inbox banger”, but we’ll pretend that never happened). Although the members are actually native to Miami & Clearwater, the duo hooked up... Read More →

Well you might wanna get on over to Eve in downtown, because it looks like there will be a lot of LVE in the air to help kick off the Labor Day shenanigans…Summer LVE, to be exact. The folks over at Free Lve Collective & C9 have put the Summer Lve jammie jam together just for you, oh lovers of great times and smooth tunes. With performances... Read More →

Spam Allstars Pour Us a Cup of “Agua De Poco”

The Spam Allstars have been funking the Magic City up for over a decade and thank the lord for that. With a sound that represents the 305 like no other, their unique blend of hip-hop, Latin , funk and electronic styles just screams “MIAMI”. The city’s favorite funk mafia is back at it again with yet another album slated for later this year. In the meantime, they’ve poured out a little cafecito sized serving of some of the goodness that we can expect to hear from it. Check... Read More →

Low Visibility at Idle Hands this Saturday [7/30]!!

If you poke around on Antisteez enough, you’ll notice that there are a couple of bands on here that some of the writers seem to gush about. We each have a handful of artists that we feel are really bringing the right flavor to Miami and are doing things their own way. I’m definitely guilty of it and one of those bands for me is Low Visibility, a tight-knit unit of some dudes from Hialeah that just play great rock n’ roll. They aren’t in it for the popularity contest, they... Read More →

[Album Review] MindYou’s “The Rise”

The thing with punk rock is, you gotta feel it, maaaaan. Like most musical genres, there are many sub-genres and classifications, many different flavors and many different interpretations; it’s a beautiful thing. But the thing is, if you’re a band playing punk rock and you don’t feel the music…you’re fucked. It stands out in your songs and your performances like a flaming bag of shit hung around your neck. To some people who don’t really care for the genre, punk... Read More →

Idle Hands Smackin’ Shit Around Starting This Friday [6/24] With Furious Dudes!

So you say you want something different? I love our nightlife but damn it sometimes I just want to kick back and hear some good ol’ ass kicking Rock n’ Roll and party like a dude in an 80s beer commercial (actually, more like Spuds McKenzie…whatever that means) and just hear ear-busting punk, Oi!, ska, metal New Wave and a whole BUNCH of genres that represent fun and mayhem…pretty much, just music that spells PARTY while pouring a beer on your head (that’s the... Read More →

Skarhead Plowing Through Eve This Saturday 6/18!

If songs about fucking, fucking some shit up and well, fucking up copious amounts of drugs are what you’ve been waiting for, say no more!! This Saturday, June 24th, Eve is the place to be for fans of all of the above listed (legal and illegal) activities. Why? Well, because Skarhead is in town, the notorious band from New York that helped inject what some labelled “Thugcore” into the  already thriving hardcore scene the during late nineties. Veterans of the scene with over 15... Read More →

Thrash or Die: Melting Faces and Taking Names

  When I first heard someone mention Thrash or Die about a year ago,  I honestly thought they were talking about a joke band. Looking at their ÜBER metal logo just conjured up days of ripped jeans, hi-top reeboks and black band t-shirts with amazingly detailed images of demons and  things with bat wings. For some reason, shit just looked cooler back then if it had bat wings or dragon wings attached to it, and I fucking loved every minute of it. The year was 1987 and thrash metal ruled….and... Read More →

The Morning Flesh Project Provide Their Fans With a Post-Mortem Parting Gift

Not too long ago, there was a time that you couldn’t sit in on a conversation about great local music without hitting upon the name The Morning Flesh Project. In what seemed to be a very short time, TMFP popped up onto the scene and rose to the top of the lists for many locals. People REALLY liked these guys. By presenting something refreshing and new (as well as playing virtually everywhere in the tri-county area) they managed to stay on everyone’s minds. If you caught them live or... Read More →

Halfway to Halloween! Zombies! Prom! Burlesque! Yes, Please!

The Shimmy Shake Revue is up to no good yet again! I gotta hand it to them, in the 3 short months since its inception, the monthly party is moving towards the forefront of the teeny-tiny but ever-growing burlesque scene down here in good ol’ SoFla. Morgan La Rue and The Monterey Club have outdone themselves in the creativity department this time with a “Halfway to Halloween Zombie Prom” party, a night promising to titillate with….ummmm, well, what else? BOOBS! ZOMBIES!... Read More →
