Audiofeed 2016 preview: Anti-World System

By Ryan G

One of the best things about Audiofeed Music Festival and its relative Cornerstone Festival is the tendency to find faith based bands in genres that you never would have guessed such an influence to exist. One of these bands is Anti-World System.

Downbeat punk?! Inspired by Scripture? Anti-World System is certainly the first band I’ve ever heard of taking this approach to songwriting. Maybe I’ve been hiding under a rock (I regretfully never made it out to Cornerstone Festival) but I’m stoked to hear these jams live and see people of all ages in the grass running in the perhaps the most friendly circle pit I’ve ever seen. Now I don’t know that to be a fact, but I’ll go ahead and make that prediction now for Audiofeed 2016. Feel free to show up at their set and test that notion.

We interviewed the band too. Listen and read:

Who would play your ideal festival and where would it be?

It would have to be all the bands and styles I like. Hardcore punk, Thrash, Speed Metal, D-beat, Crust punk and Crossover thrash.

The Hoax, Hand of Fire, Grace and Thieves, Hating Evil, Mashiaj, Rise into Ruin, Chasm, Sword of Judgement, Veränderung, Supresion, Our Corpse Destroyed, Anti-World System, Headnoise, The Lead, Desiring Dead Flesh, The Crücified, FBS, Sacrament, etc.

Probably hold it somewhere in the Midwest.

What is your favorite music released this year thus far? What are you looking forward to?

Discharge – End of Days

What summer movie are you most looking forward to?

Star Trek – Beyond

Assume I know NOTHING about your band. In one sentence, why should I listen to you? 

We bring that old school ’80’s sound with an in your face, no compromise, Gospel message.

Who on the Audiofeed lineup are you most stoked about this year and why?

Grave Robber, always and FBS

If your band had a mission statement, what would it say?

We have one:

Mission Statement: We exist to challenge worldly Christians to return to True Biblical Faith and to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ as the only hope for a dying and decaying world.

What band from your area do more people need to hear? That most Audiofeed attendees (and beyond) would not have heard of.

6’10

What song do you hear and you immediately think “Summer!”?

I don’t, I hate summer 🙂

What is something you’ve been learning on your life or faith journey lately?

Learing to be a patient father to my aspberger teen age daughter and to love and continually challenge fellow Christians to live a biblical, Spirit filled life, in these days, we see so much worldliness among Christians. No matter the cost!
