Anti Product - EPs of AP

Anti-Product was a New York State-based crust punk band, formed in 1995, and disbanded in 2002. Their music featured anarchist and other political themes. Anti-Product played for the first time on March 5, 1995 at the Tazmanian Embassy in Binghamton, NY. There were four line-up changes, additions, and substitutions over the years and five tours in the US. We put out two seven inch EPs: one self-release in 1996 and a second EP on Tribal War Records in 1998. Mind Control Records put out the "Iron Columns" 2xLP compilation in 1999 and included a previously unreleased AP song. Later that year, "The Deafening Silence Of Grinding Gears" LP was released by Tribal War Records while we were out on the Primate Freedom Tour with Aus-Rotten, Mark Bruback, Fly and Sarah O'Donell. The LP was also released in Germany by Skuld Releases. That summer Anti-Product also played the semi-notorious "More Than Music Festival" in Columbus, OH dedicated to DIY feminist politics, with the likes of Kill The Man Who Questions, Red Monkey, Bread & Cuircuts, former members of Alofson and many more.
They began incorporating cello into new material in early 2000 and toured the east coast with Submission Hold that summer. A song was included on a Farm Sanctuary benefit compilation put out by the Mountain Cooperative in 2001. They played very few shows those years while most of the band relocated from upstate NY to Philadelphia. In 2002 "The EP's of AP" CD was released by Tribal War Records and included seven inches, comp tracks and a never released EP.
