In addition to being the brand of a Swedish insecticide, Anti-Cimex is also the patronymic of one of the most influential d-beat groups. Formed in 1981 in Gothenburg around Jonsson, Nillen, Charlie and Jocke, the training has in mind the will to practice a violent and fast hardcore in the vein of Germs, Discharge, Varukers and Disorder. The first single soon. The same year was recorded Anarkist Attack, the first single of the Scandinavians. In 1982, Anti-Cimex faced a modification of its line up. Nillen, who had been asked to go and stir his spikes elsewhere, was replaced by Jonsson, who left the bass in favour of a newcomer, Conrad. It was also at that time that the group dropped Swedish as a mode of expression. Thus, in 1982, Raped Ass , first single of the band in English followed, a year later by Victims of a Bombraid . We must wait until 1986 for the first mini lp of the group to be published. But, at the exit of Criminal Trap, some members of the group show signs of slippage. Jocke felt the need to withdraw and asked Cliff ( Black Uniforms, Moderat Likvidation ) to replace him. In the face of his refusal, Anti-Cimex splits up.
The band was reshaped in 1990 around Cliff, who was persuaded, Jonsson, Charlie and Conrad. The band recorded in the same year its first real album, Absolute Country of Sweden, with a much more metallic connotation than previous productions, which it earned in particular to participate in the festival of Fagersta alongside 999, Morbid Angel, Union Carbide and Pestilence. In 1993, Anti-Cimex released a live album, followed by Fucked in Finland and his second and last album, Scandinavian Jawbreaker. Soon after, Cliff joined Driller Killer and Jonsson, Wolfpack (auj. Wolfbrigade).
