| Antiskeptic > Albums & Lyrics |
The debut album might be called Memoirs of A Common Man, but there's nothing common about Antiskeptic. As one reviewer said: "… A band blossoming into a very confident rock outfit. Catchy, emotional melodic rock songs."
2002 has been more than significant for Melbourne-based Antiskeptic. Their debut album has achieved glowing media reviews nationally including Beat Magazine calling it, "a triumph... spiritually uplifting, grandiose, ingenuous, professional and compulsively energetic."
The debut single Called was added to high rotation play on Triple J and Triple M including scoring poll position in the Triple J Net 50, for five consecutive weeks. Melbourne's The Age said, "Called cranks with a crunchy riff sandwiched between nice harmonies and slower ebbs. This band knows how to keep it energised without losing a sense of catchy melody (a la Foo Fighters)," while Adelaide's Rip It Up raved that, "Melbourne three-piece Antiskeptic's new single is… well-nigh perfect melody-drenched guitar-based pop rock."
This year has also seen Antiskeptic record a live set for Triple J's Oz Music Show, play an acoustic set in the JJJ plastic room and be included on the bill of such well respected festivals as Vans Warped Tour, MONE, Homebake and Falls alongside such bands as Alex Lloyd, Billy Idol, Grinspoon, Garbage, Jebediah and Midnight Oil.
Since their inception in late '99 Antiskeptic have also supported the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Unwritten Law, Millencolin, Jebediah, Pacifier, Bodyjar, Blueline Medic, Eskimo Joe, One Dollar Short plus many more.
The two major youth broadcasters Triple J and Fly TV have added the icing to Antiskeptic's 2002 cake by co-presenting their debut national tour entitled '4 Seasons Across 5 States.' This tour covered quite a lot of new territory, with multiple shows in each state including all major regional centres such as Maroochydore, Surfers Paradise, Toukley, Blaxland Newcastle, Ballarat, Adelaide, Bunbury and Fremantle.
The future could hardly be brighter…
