Antis is a Lithuanian post-punk/new wave band that emerged into the music scene in the mid-1980s. Known for their theatrical performances and satirical lyrics, Antis became a prominent voice for the Lithuanian youth during the Soviet era, often using allegory and humor to critique the Soviet regime. Their music, charged with political significance, became an integral part of the Singing Revolution—a series of events that led to the restoration of independence for the Baltic States.

The band's discography showcases their evolving sound and the ability to maintain relevance over the decades. With recent releases like "ANTIS kaip KAnDIs" and "Nauji metai EP", Antis continues to resonate with fans, old and new alike. Their live performances are particularly notable, with albums such as "Antis Trakų pilyje. Atsisveikinimo koncertas (Live)" capturing the raw energy and connection with audiences that have become synonymous with the Antis experience. Albums like "Geriausios dainos II" serve as a testament to their enduring appeal, offering a compilation of their greatest hits while newer tracks like "Debesys" display their ongoing creative evolution. Their unique blend of social commentary and vibrant music solidifies Antis not just as entertainers, but also as a significant cultural force within Lithuania.
