The Antarcticans are a five-piece Los Angeles based instrumental-attack-noise group that formed in 2002. In recordings and in their performances, The Antarcticans are a violent takeover of overwhelming feedback-peaking builds of heart-breaking psych-trips. In 2004, The Antarcticans released their self-titled debut album, with all handmade artwork and packaging, on TheNewBlack Records (which is also run by two members of the band). 2006 was graced by their second album, "Teach Children: Fear All Teachings of Eternity, the Doom of Self & Nature.
