The Anxieties - Bios
Bios
The Anxieties are a four-piece band from Eugene, OR; playing old-school style punk rock that primarily
takes it’s influences from the first wave of British punk circa ‘77-’79, and the heyday of the
California scene circa ‘81, with a little garage rock'n'roll thrown in for good measure. Mark Hughson of the
East Coast fanzine Now Wave writes: “Coming out of Eugene, this four piece slams out fast, catchy,
just-this-side-of-snotty punk ’n’ roll. The frenzied guitar work of Tristan Tower is matched by Scott
Von Rocket’s spazz-riddled vocals." From the hometown Eugene Weekly’s Robert Jacobs: “Driving. Aggressive.
Sneering. Irreverent. These are terms that typify the halcyon days of British punk circa 1977.
They also aptly describe the debut from The Anxieties. Hard driving drums propel buzzsaw guitars
against the jagged vocals of Scott Von Rocket. The musicianship is tight where it needs to be, loose
and shambling when called for. Everyone in this band gets into the vocals, whether it's call and
response or the shouted choruses. Fans of The Undertones, The Boys and The Buzzcocks will be very
pleased with this release…it's refreshing to hear bands like The Anxieties carrying the ‘classic’
punk standard into the 21st Century.”
