The Return Of ANTiSEEN (UPDATED w/ FALL TOUR DATES!!)


(ANTiSEEN 2014 - Left to Right: Mad Brother Ward, the Gooch, Jeff Clayton, Sir Barry Hannibal)


World Heavy Weight Champions Of Rock n' Roll ANTiSEEN have demolished any doubts as to whether the band will continue after the tragic death of guitarist and cofounder "Mighty" Joe Young. At the end of June, the band unveiled a new line-up of vocalist/founder Jeff Clayton, veteran member Sir Barry Hannibal, recent recruit drummer the Gooch, and stepping into the role of guitarist Mad Brother Ward. Brother Ward has a long history with ANTiSEEN as a friend and collaborator. With the annoucement, Ward spoke directly about his additude towards his new role in the band:

"It is my intention to honor the memory of Joe Young and the legacy of this band. It was his wish for the band to always continue. Speaking as a fan I know Joe Young was irreplaceable. His style and sound were integral. I don't see myself as "replacing" Joe. My effort is to try to pick up where he left off and emulate that style and sound - which is the sound of ANTiSEEN."

Since joining the band, Mad Brother Ward has also launched the NOISE FOR THE SAKE OF NOISE blog where he discusses the profound influence ANTiSEEN has had on him, and where he plans to chronical his ongoing adventures with the newest incarnation of band.
