The Anti-Heros were an American Oi! or Streetpunk band formed in 1984 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. They took a hiatus from 1989-1993, but continued to record and play concerts through the early 2000s. The Anti-Heros are considered to be among the first and most popular of the American bands in this musical genre.
Mark Noah, singer of the Anti-Heros, owns GMM Records. GMM Records released some of the Dropkick Murphys earliest recordings as well as the likes of bands such as Iron Cross (band), Oxymoron (band), Agnostic Front, The Ducky Boys, Patriot, Whiskey Rebels, Templars, Deadline, One Way System among others.
The Anti-Heros were involved in a law-suit against New Line Cinema for using the band's logo in the film American History X against the bands will (as they did not want to be assosciated with white supremacists, something they had been vocally against since the band started. The logo was removed after the lawsuit from all subsequent releases of the film.
Their 1999 release "Underneath the Underground" was produced by Lars Fredrickson of Rancid (band) fame.
