Antidote (band)


Antidote is a Dutch punk band formed in 1996. Inspiration for the band came when the band members had a jam session at the squat De Blauwe Aanslag. The band has released five full-length studio albums and toured extensively across Europe, North America, and Russia with prominent US punk bands such as The Casualties and The Virus.
Antidote's music has been categorized as punk, hardcore, or straight edge. They write politically motivated songs with lyrics that support the squatting movement, are anti-fascist, anti-homophobic, and even criticize the punk scene itself.
In December 2012, Antidote officially announced their break-up. However, in 2017, the band reunited for a series of festival performances. Bart and Arne Smeels, members of Antidote, have been active with the Utrecht-based punk band Bakfietsboys, and Arne Smeels has also produced solo cassettes as Arne S.
