Best Band Keeping Old-School Punk Ethics Alive

In times of overt bigotry and social unrest, ANTAGONIZERS ATL’s songs offer uncompromising messages of unity and positivity. This street punk credo echoes as loud in these contentious times as jokey provocation or political sloganeering. Such anthems as “Hold Your Ground” and “Dead to Us” extol the values of self-respect and not taking shit off known enemies and false friends. The band’s positive message resounds with listeners for two reasons. First, singer Bohdan Zacharyj, guitarist Richard Henderson, bassist Billy Fields and drummer Eric Antell perform loud and fast rock ‘n’ roll with roots that dig deep into U.S. and U.K. punk history. Second, and more importantly, all four members come across as genuinely well-intentioned old-school punks, sharing the music that changed their lives every time they take the stage. www.antagonizersatl.bandcamp.com
