Antidote (band)

Antidote was a Dutch Punk rock band from the Netherlands, formed in 1996. Inspiration for the band came when the band members had a jam session at the squat De Blauwe Aanslag.[1] The band has released five full-length studio albums[2][3] and toured extensively in Europe, North America, and Russia with prominent US punk bands such as The Casualties and The Virus.[4] Antidote's music has been categorized as punk, hardcore, or straight edge.[5] They write politically motivated songs with lyrics that support the squatting movement, are anti-fascist, anti-homophobic, and even criticize the punk scene itself.[6]
