Biography
(1981 – 1986, 1990 – 1993)
Their name is taken from the Swedish pest control company with the same name, the name of this company, in turn, comes from the Latin name of a particular type of bedbug; Cimex.
Formed in 1981, the original line-up was: Jonsson - bass, Nillen - vocals, Charlie - drums and Jocke - guitar. After rehersing for a while, they released their first 7” single “Anarkist Attack”.
In 1982, Anti Cimex kicked out Nillen. Jonsson took over the vocals part and Conrad took over the bass playing. They also released a new 7” single later in the year called “Raped Ass”.
In 1983 they released another 7” single “Victims Of A Bombraid”.
In 1986, Anti Cimex released a mini-Lp (12”) called “Criminal Trap”. (This 12” is also included as a bonus on the “Absolut Country of Sweden” CD). At this time, Jocke had got tired of the band and they asked Cliff, if he wanted to join the band, but he said no and the rest of the band members got tired of the problems and it resulted in the band splitting up.

I agree. I like (a lot) their earlier material too,but nothing beats Absolut Country of Sweden and Scandinavian Jawbreaker. The only exception is the Victims Of A Bomb Raid 7"which is a real gem (especially the title track)..but still,in my personal opinion it's really too hard to beats songs as UNDER THE SUN,WHEEL OF LIFE,Rose,Braincell Battle,ONLY IN DREAMS...I could go on ;D

Rawterror
Anti Cimex in the 80s = hardcore punk/d-beat/raw punk Anti Cimex in the 90s = hardcore punk/crust/d-beat

it's not the fact that they are hipsters...it's the fact that Tragedy is overly melodramatic wank...I could never get my dick hard on Tragedy

I mean,not all fans of Tragedy must be considered as newborn nu-school hipsters with no knowledge at all about punk/hardcore/crust..or you would have to call in those ways people who are the double of our age(or even oldier),who are into this movement from decades,that gave their contribute to create/evolve it and are still so active in bands,labels,recordings,places and so on..and i could name many "famous" people..and Tragedy themselves were active in this scene from before most of us were even born or were just too young to even know the word punk...their only big fault is that they've just tried to create their own sound,resulting in bein enjoyable not only for crusties and old school hardcore kids..but hey,i've never seen them on mtv,or playin in some mainstream big club,they're not on some major,their lyrics (have you ever read them?) still rules,they're still into the underground scene..so the point is: u like them?good. u don't? ok..just don't hate without a proper reason!

@Red Armada: well,i don't think they were born as a Discharge rip-off (and luckily they've created their own sound),but well,it's impossible to don't hear the influence of Discharge in Anti-Cimex (as in the majority of the most famous svedish and generally scandi-core bands of those days)..i think is not just worshippin but an evolution of the tipical Discharge sound..but still,Discharge are clearly the basement! and well,i personally do not tag them as crust,but as proto-crust (the most d-beatin side of crust,as for Doom,Hiatus..ya know) since it's also impossible to don't consider bands as Anti-Cimex essentials (as much as punk bands as Amebix,Antisect and then Deviated Instict,Axegrinder and all the other stench-core era related bands..that i infact still consider as proto-crust) for the development of what we call crust. Of course not all studded things as to be related with crust (this is nowadays-ignorance) but hey.....i'm a fuckin Tragedy fan..i love their music..SO fuckin WHAT?

I cant personally say I hear that many similarities between AC and Discharge. Both bands kill, thats enough.
-
RedArmada
Anti Cimex was not attempting a Discharge worship sound, and they certainly aren't crust. Tragedy fans just can't resist the urge to call everything with a spikey jacket "crust".
