I think its safe to say that Shark Attack is responsible for the popularity of Antidote in the present day. I feel like there wasnt a real buzz about them until Shark Attack covered “foreign job lot” at one of the edge day Y2X show. I feel like after that everyone was talking about how great Antidote was,etc… I know that like redemtion87 covered them as well but no one seemed to really care. Im not saying some people wernt saying that before just that it really took off after that. So thank you Shark Attack for $4-500 record prices.
On to the band though. I really like these records to this day. They hold up real well and make me a bumout that Shark Attack never made another 7″ or an LP. They always had dope shirts too. I wouldnt wear it but I love their take on the Iron Cross design with the shark attacky edges. This one is brought to us again by mahabysdad
I remember seeing Hot Rod Circuit open for Hankshaw and Elliot at the Tune Inn. At that point they were calling themselves Antidote. I mentioned to them about the fact there was already a CT band called Antidote, but they had never heard of them. Seeing as it was their CD Release, they weren’t too excited to have to look for a new band name. I was shocked how quickly the band was forgotten, because this was only in 98.
