The CD for The Next Mutation is out of print for the time being. We've put it up on our Bandcamp page for a "name-your-price" download, which means you don't have to pay anything if you don't want to...you know, like free? Although kicking down a couple bucks for the band practice beer fund would be mighty neighborly of you... http://theanxieties.bandcamp.com/album/the-next-mutation a couple reviews: "Anxieterrific! Silly but awesome new wave punk that made me pogo shamelessly (well, maybe that's impossible, but with minimal shame)" - Rocktober "Imagine members of the Damned got together to jam with members of the Dead Kennedys, and the Anxieties are your basic product: Endearingly sloppy retro production? Check. Tinny "fuck you!" gall 'n' roll nostalgia? Check... All that is worth noting is that this album is hit after hit after hit, not a single bit of filler to note. Memorable anthems such as the fast-paced frenzies of title track "The Next Mutation," "X-Ray Eyes" and pissed off blitzkriegs in the vein of "I'm Not An Idiot" would make their heroes blush..." - Jersey Beat "Hell yeah! This one surprised me. Why have I never heard of this band before? Upon listening to this, I would have guessed that The Anxieties are from Denton or Austin or somewhere from the Southwest, just judging by other bands that have come from there that sound similar. A quick web search reveals that they're from Portland, OR of all places. When I think of Portland, I think crust- heavy, dark crust. This couldn't be further from that. It's some fast rock 'n' roll influenced punk, sounding somewhat like The Reds or a snottier version of the Marked Men. See the Texas references? There's not much more to say, other than these guys know how to rock!" - MRR |
