There are at least two bands with the name Antietam 1) A school was being born in Kentucky that would be influential throughout the 1990s. Its early leaders were bands at the crossroads between roots-rock and noise-rock, and Tara Key's Antietam were the most typical in bridging those two styles, i.e. the South and Sonic Youth, the rural and the urban sound, tradition and modernism. The savage and awkward playing on Antietam (1985) was emblematic of the distance that separated the new generation from the generation of the Fetchin Bones.
