Antídrasi (Translated to: Reaction) is a Hardcore Punk band formed in December 1985 in Athens, Greece.


In March 1987 they released their 1st demo tape titled "Άρρωστος Κόσμος (Sick World)" which was 10 tracks, and only 40 copies were distributed by Art Nouveau. Three months later, they released their 2nd eponymous demo tape in 500 copies, which was distributed exclusively in West Germany from the band's friends Nikos & Pavlos (who they later founded Art Nouveau). A 3rd demo tape came out as a split with the Greek punk group "Stress".

Their 1st vinyl release came out in June '89 and it was the 7" EP "Αίμα Στους Δρόμους (Blood In The Streets)", released by Art Nouveau in 580 copies. In Spring 1990, they entered the studio recording new songs for their first full-length album "Κατάσταση Κινδύνου (Danger Situation)", which was released in Summer of the same year.

After countless gigs, in Autumn '91, their second album "Ενάντια (Against)" was released. On 27/3/1992 they performed live at Rock Palais (Castella, Piraeus) along with 'Νεκρική Σιγή' & 'Τρομοκρατική Εξουσία'. On 4/10/199? they performed live at Villa Amalias (Athens) along with 'Χαοτικό Τέλος' & 'Rotten Minds'.

In 1996 they released the 7" "E", and in November 1998, they disbanded.

After many years of absence, they reformed in 2005. In 2006 they released their third album "Παντού Και Πουθενά". On 20/6/2009 they performed live at Προπύλαια (Athens) along with 'Μεθυσμένα Ξωτικά & 'Kill The Cat'. In 2012, the album "Όρκος Του Μίσους" was released, and fifth album "Δυστοπία" followed in 2019.
