The band’s DIY roots and dedication to craft were equally as essential to their rising profile-early releases were accompanied with band-dubbed cassettes, made-to-order zines, and even self-dyed shirts-each part of Anxious was laid out in meticulous detail from day one. The result is an artistic leap that, had the band’s plans to spend much of 2020 on the road actually been feasible, maybe wouldn’t have happened.įormed in 2016 while members were still in high school, Anxious’ early releases were indebted to the urgent freneticism and heart-on-sleeve lyrics of post-hardcore acts like Texas Is The Reason, Samiam, and Turning Point, allowing Anxious to immediately grab the attention of the hardcore scene. With extensive touring plans halted and regular life on pause, the band-vocalist Grady Allen, guitarists Dante Melucci and Ryan Savitski, bassist Sam Allen, and drummer Jonny Camner-headed into Allen’s mom’s basement and reflected on each part of the material that would turn into their first record over and over again.
