Chris Bickel (born 1970) most notably fronted the bands In/Humanity and Guyana Punch Line. Both bands could be considered to be Powerviolence and Hardcore punk, but Bickel jokingly described In/Humanity's music as Emo Violence and introduced the philosophy of Smashism with Guyana Punch Line.

In/Humanity was around from 1991-1998 and GPL from 1998-2003. After the demise of the latter, he sang in the short-lived Newgenics and Four, 3, One. Other musical projects of his include gaymetal band Confederate Fagg and avant-garde soundscape project Anakrid, the latter of which is currently his main artistic endeavor.

Anakrid has released 3 LP records and is currently signed to the Beta-lactam Ring Records label.

Bickel runs Stereonucleosis Records, which released many Antischism records as well as those of Bickel's bands. He also was a columnist for Maximum RocknRoll for a while.
