Chris Bickel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chris Bickel most notably fronted the bands In/Humanity and Guyana Punch Line. Both bands could be considered to be Powerviolence and Hardcore punk, but Bickel jokingly described In/Humanity's as Emo Violence and (re)introduced another word, Smashism with Guyana Punch Line, taken from Los Angeles punk pioneers The Screamers.

In/Humanity was around from the 1992-1998 and GPL from 1998-2003. After the demise of the latter, he sang in the short-lived Newgenics and Four, 3, One. Other musical projects of his include Confederate Fagg and Anakrid, the latter of which is currently his main artistic endeavor.

Bickel runs Stereonucleosis Records, which released many Antischism records as well as those of Bickel's bands. He also was a columnist for Maximum RocknRoll for a while.
