Through Thick and Thin, Upheaval Pushes Forward
Category: Interviews Posted by: Omar

Metal will always be a part of the ever-changing South Florida musical landscape. As far back as I can remember, no matter what trends come and go, metal has been a constant. Although its mainstream appeal has been a rollercoaster (forever rising, falling, rising once again, etc.), it has never really gone away. Growing up in Miami and listening to heavy metal, thrash and even  glam rock (yes, I am not ashamed…well, maybe a little) in the 80s and 90s, I must say that...

![[Album Review]: Radioboxer’s Magic City Ruse](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/12401_401807187441_33768202441_4835017_6640154_n-190x190.jpg)
Thought you were done hearing about Radioboxer? Think again. The Hialeah band that has spent the last couple of months doing everything they can to make damn sure that you know who they are have finally unleashed their second album, Magic City Ruse. In true Radioboxer fashion, the release party at The Stage was quite the event. The band filled the venue to capacity on April Fool’s day and spared nothing in making it the talk of the town for a while. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it... Read More →
Antisteez Takes a Good Look at Low Visibility
Category: Interviews Posted by: Omar
22 Mar
There are Miami bands that show up, do their job, pack it up, go home and then sit on their asses until the next gig comes up a week or two later. They never connect with people, they never support other bands, they never really walk the walk, basically. Low Visibility is not one of those bands. These guys are the epitome of what being in a band is about. In addition to being one of the most solid rock n’ roll acts in Miami right now, on any given night, at any given show by local bands, you... Read More →
Tuesday, March 1st at Eve: A Throwback Kinda Night! Featuring Ashers, Refuse Resist & Many More!
28 Feb
When was the last time you checked out some seriously good, fuck shit up hardcore punk AND some hip hop…on a Tuesday night?! I’m guessing it was probably back in the day when baggy shorts, running shoes and basketball jerseys were the uniform of choice among many of us that used to hit up almost every friggin’ show from the 305 to the 561 and everywhere in between (And sometimes even beyond, if we could borrow our mom’s car or hitch a ride with a friend. [Who also borrowed... Read More →
There are many things you can say about the Miami local scene but one thing you can’t take away is that we love our friends, in this life or in the next. Tonight is a perfect example of how we care for our friends and how they are more like family, especially during the hard times. Early last month, Jose “Boner” Faria passed away due to an unfortunate auto accident. A longtime member of the Miami punk rock scene, Jose was loved by many and it shows. Although I did not know Jose... Read More →
Let’s face it, at one point we’ve all complained about the state of the Miami live music scene. We’ve all played the role of the jaded soul that feels that there’s no one giving a shit about any local artists, so why try? Well I’m not sure if you’ve kept up lately, but there are certain people (::cough::ANTISTEEZ.COM::cough::) that are trying their damnedest to point fingers at local talent and do whatever they can to make sure that those of you out there have...

Every now and then, a certain national act will come through Churchill’s that I cannot miss. No matter how many times I’ve seen the band, I must be there. The reason being is that every time said band rolls through town, I end up having a grrrreat time, with ears ringing and a shit-eating grin for the next couple of days or so. The Queers are definitely on that list of bands. I just can’t miss them. No matter what is happening, I have to be present with plenty of friends, plenty... Read More →
For a while now, people have been grumbling about the Miami International Film Festival and how it really has not been doing what it should be doing; piquing interest. In recent years, the festival has really been lackluster. To me, the selection and the experience itself has always felt like it was catering to its high profile supporters as opposed to the actual spirit of filmmaking and the people that live, eat, sleep and dream film. We all love the fact that the festival exists, don’t get... Read More →
Sadly, for the second week in a row at Antisteez, we have been hit with the news of yet another great person being taken from us just way to soon. Early Monday morning we lost a person known to most as one of the friendliest and enigmatic members of the South Florida cycling community. I did not know Ferny extremely well, but I can tell you that on the rides and beers we share, Ferny was always cracking jokes and making those around him feel very welcome. One of the hardest riders in Miami, Ferny... Read More →
Art by Jerry Morris There is something to be said about crafting the perfect pop package; it’s not easy. In this day and age where it seems like absolutely every genre of music is falling under the “pop” flag, it’s getting harder and harder to recognize true pop music because almost everything has that appeal. That mass appeal. That sound that makes it perfectly fine for a 15 year old teenage kid and a middle aged adult to bop along to the same band. In the music... Read More →
I usually steer clear of the Art Basel and all of the hoopla and shenanigans it brings with it Hoopla and shenanigans have their place in my life, but I don’t like life to tell me WHEN or WHERE I must partake in hoopla and shenanigans, I usually create my own ruckus with people that I love at places that I know, not some cavernous convention space or some hollowed out warehouse all dolled up to look like a cavernous convention space. But every so often, after 2 or 3 years of being a jaded... Read More →
Let’s get shit straight here; Miami is known for a ton of things that usually revolve around pretty things, money, beautiful beaches, a trifecta of evil genius basketball players and the Sarussi sandwich (okay, maybe that last part about Sarussi isn’t completely true, but fuck, at least Man vs. Food thinks so!). One thing is certain; we are not famous for our punk rock. Unfortunately, the thump thump thump of our bass and shaking asses of our lovely ladies tend to leave everything else... Read More →
