Anxious have shared new single ‘Never Said’, taken from their upcoming album ‘Bambi’.
The Connecticut punk band’s second full-length follows their 2022 debut ‘Little Green House’, and arrives via Run For Cover Records this coming Friday (21st February).
Vocalist Grady Allen discusses the new track, saying, “In our music subculture, there often seems to be this dynamic where people stay close to others regardless of the fact of whether they really like them or not. You hear subtle whispers and rumors about what people really think of you, but those feelings are never expressed to you directly. It’s an exhausting social dynamic and one that I am desperate to let go of. ‘Never Said”s lyrics focus on that idea. The song came about super weirdly and indirectly. I went over to Dante’s house last winter and we just started shooting this riff back and forth. We started frankenstein-ing new parts onto it over several months and eventually it just sort of fell into what it was. It was a cool process- we rarely write that way. It was fun to just sort of keep throwing things together and see what happened.”
The band have also announced a US headline tour with Ultra Q and Stateside.
