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!
