Anti Dread is a Polish punk rock band playing since 2003. According to band's members the name means simply that none of them wear dreadlocks.
Anti Dread play melodic punk rock music, similar in style to that originating from the 1970s. The band avoids incorporating any political views into their songs and cover few social or economical issues. The situation is caused by the fact, that most of the band's members are experienced musicians, who had played in several projects throughout their lives and see Anti Dread as the space they can play for pure entertainment.
The band's musical inspirations can be observed through the bands they decided to cover on their albums. These include Cock Sparrer, The Dictators, Turbonegro, Sex Pistols and Skrewdriver.
The band formed in 2003 in Szczecin as a new project of Paweł Czekała, The Analogs bass guitar player. He decided to play the guitar. He was joined by Błażej Halski (second guitar) and Paweł Boguszewski (drums). After quite a long search for vocalist Anti Dread chose Piotr Półtorak, who at the time sang in The Hunkies. The last position to be filled was that of bass guitar player. This was taken by Kefir.
In the end of 2003 the band's first record was released - 14 Seksistowskich Piosenek. As the title explains (14 Sexist Songs), the album contains fourteen songs, three of which are in fact covers. The record was released by Jimmy Jazz Records label.
