Anxious Pleasers

 

Anxious Pleasers is a new band from Hamilton, Canada, featuring three veterans from the local garage punk / "77" punk scene. It's common knowledge that most local scenes are totally inbred families and Hamilton's one doesn't seem to be different: Anxious Pleasers that's Matt, TJ and Nathan, three hyperactive members of that scene, but you rather see... the three of them play in Rocket Reducers, TJ and Nathan play in TV Freaks, Nathan plays in Flesh Rag, Matt plays in Plasticheads and in The Vapids since 2008 and TJ is also a graphic designer on the side working under the name Don't Try.
Three busy lads yeah.
 
 
 Anxious Pleasers does not fall very far from the garage punk tree, taking its roots in early punk groups like The Pagans, The Users, The Depressions (to mention only bands from three different English speaking countries), in classic silly garage punk bands like The Carbonas, Teengenerate, The Cavemen but mostly in what I call the "77 revival scene" I've mentioned in my post about Laxisme a few weeks ago with bands like The Briefs, Küken or The Celetoids etc.. they also got a slight power pop touch and have been compared to Tommy And The Commies and Priors.
They're even covering a Pagans' track so you see... 
 
So yes it's fast, it's melodic, it's catchy, it got a strong rock'n roll groove and it's extremely predictable (but who seriously cares?).
An enjoyable album!
 
 
At first released as a tape by the band, Anxious Pleasers record should be available on wax very soon thanks to Neon Taste records (a label that's become a regular on this page). 
 
 
 
N,J'Oi!
 
 
 

You can listen to Anxious Pleasers on Rien à Faire #24.
