Antiseen
Here To Ruin Your Groove
Let's not mince words - in the American punk canon, there are few acts as tenured as Charlotte, NCs legendary ANTiSEEN.
With dozens of singles, LPs, compilations, and live records to their name, choosing a definitive "best" is nigh on
impossible. But if were going to have the conversation anyway, theres zero question that their now classic 1996 full
length Here To Ruin Your Groove is in the running.
Marking a shift in both personnel and paradigm for the band, Here To Ruin Your Groove introduced Tripp McNeill and Barry
Hannibal into the fold; A pair whose contributions would help shape the band's sound for years to come. As a veteran of
fellow Charlotte underground luminaries Seducer, McNeills metal-infused, melodic approach to bass both perfectly
complemented and expanded upon ANTiSEENs patented brand of grimy, Southern punk rock n roll. For Hannibals part, his
role as drummer, producer, engineer, bassist, and more has remained an integral component of the bands makeup for the
last several decades. The result of this newly minted rhythm section was a record that delivered on the raucous,
irreverent punk ANTiSEEN had spent years perfecting, while broadening the bands scope to include even more melodic flare
and heavy metal flourishes. With Jeff Claytons singular voice and uncompromising vision anchored by the feral roar of
Joe Young's buzzsaw guitar, Here To Ruin Your Groove immediately cemented its status as one of ANTiSEEN's most
compelling, hard-hitting, and lasting efforts.
Lovingly reissued for the first time since 2003 as a newly remastered double LP, this deluxe edition of Here To Ruin
Your Groove includes both the original record and an additional LP featuring two previously CD-only hidden bonus tracks,
two singles, and six tracks from their 1997 set at the Confederacy of Scum Supershow in Lawrence, KS. Packaged in a
gatefold jacket and pressed on colored vinyl, the record also includes a 16"x20" poster and a CD copy of the original
1996 version. With the painstaking attention to detail youve come to expect, TKO Records is proud to present the
definitive version of ANTiSEEN's Here To Ruin Your Groove. Accept no substitutes.
