Anxious Share “Never Said” From Upcoming “Bambi” Album

Connecticut punk favorites Anxious are gearing up for their highly anticipated sophomore album, Bambi, that is due out on the 21st February via Run For Cover Records, today they’re sharing one more single ahead of the big day, the gigantic album opener, Never Said. Bambi is a record of growth and depth that’s sonically ambitious while further amplifying the seamless combination of hardcore grit and classic emo dynamism that’s made them such a beloved young band.

“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.” (vocalist Grady Allen)
