Artist Spotlight: The Antics


Wrapping up the week and beginning the month of March with another all new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head down to Skillman, New Jersey and find out about The Antics. The group consists of Luke Meisenbacher on lead vocals and guitar, Derek Rosengarth on guitar, Kyle Hammerschmidt on bass, and Josh Reitan on drums. The band has a tough, gritty garage rock component to them similar to The Strokes with a little bit of Interpol mixed and thrown in for good measure. I've heard of this band previously, but never had the opportunity to check them out until now, and they're well worth your listening time with fast paced guitar riffs that get their message across pretty quickly, and a strong vocal charge that allows the band to stand out from the hundreds of other bands out there today. A great band that proves that Jersey boys know how to rock and roll with the punches. Some recommended tracks to check out from them include "Touch the Sky" and "Honeycomb Diploma".

For more information on The Antics, check out their Facebook page located right here and don't forget to 'Like' it as well while you're there checking out the page. The band can be followed on Twitter as well right over here where you can follow the band to see what they're up to this very minute and find out if they'll be playing any shows near you sometime soon. Their official website located here has a list of broad and wide ranging features pertaining to the band, and if you would like to check out their album Running Faster, it's available on their BandCamp site over here and for purchase on iTunes as well.
