Antidote is a Dutch punk band formed in 1996. Inspiration for the band came when the band members had a jam session at the squat De Blauwe Aanslag.[1] The band has released five full-length studio albums[2] [3] and toured extensively in Europe, North America, and Russia with prominent US punk bands such as The Casualties and The Virus.[4] Antidote's music has been categorized as punk, hardcore, or straight edge.[5] They write politically motivated songs with lyrics that support the squatting movement, are anti-fascist, anti-homophobic, and even criticize the punk scene itself.[6]

In December 2012, Antidote officially announced their break-up.[7] In 2017, the band reunited for a series of festival performances. Bart and Arne Smeels, members of Antidote, have been active with the Utrecht-based punk band Bakfietsboys, Arne Smeels has also produced solo cassettes as Arne S.
