Anti Cimex were a Swedish crust punk band, based in Skövde, Gothenburg, Linköping, and Malmö, at different times, that formed in 1981.[2] They were one of the first bands to define Scandinavian hardcore punk.[3] Their second 7-inch is considered to be a subgenre-defining D-beat record. Scene historian Peter Jandreus describes the group as the most famous Swedish punk band of the 1977–1987 era.[2]
Their name is taken from the Swedish pest control company with the same name, Anticimex,[2] the name of this company, in turn, comes from the Latin name of a particular type of bed bug; Cimex.[4]
