[edit] History
Antagens music is best described as aggressive modern punk rock with socially conscious lyrics, while maintaining the ability to infuse memorable choruses. While performing the songs live the audience never fails to make the show their own by fighting their way on stage and singing with the band, creating a truly remarkable experience. The punk rock foursome, considered young by industry standards (20, 20, 20, 23), hailing from southern orange county came together in 2003. The best explanation for the group dynamic would be; they were childhood friends who happen to play instruments. After coming together in the summer they spent hours crafting their sound in the thick of the heat, as the garage became an all too familiar setting. The band quickly shed their garage band mentality/image after attracting the attention of producer Ryan Greene (NOFX, Lagwagon, Strung Out). Soon after meeting up with Ryan the band cut their debut record, aptly named, 15 Days (for the fact that the record was recorded and mixed in just 15 days). Quickly after releasing 15 Days the band won the right to play on the 2005 Warped Tour beating out over 10,000 bands to win the spot.

"Antagen stepped up and delivered a high energy performance filled with an array of accessible punk rock hooks. Their chorus's continually left you wanting more, and stayed in my head for the better part of the afternoon at Warped" - Brian Ball, Ernie Ball Marketing Director
