Anomia are an Italian four piece punk band who are influenced by the likes
of Alkaline Trio, Rise Against and The Black Maria. The band have made
a good impression in their own country and are now ready to cross shores
and tour across the UK in support of their debut UK releases with the
release of their 10 track album 'Closing Up The Basement'.
'Closing Up The Basement' is quite a good album, it opens up with 'A Trivial
Thing' which starts off with some fast guitar work, Giovanni Pedrollo’s
strong sing a long vocals soon kick in. 'Breathing Loneliness' is another
fast punk song where the vocals totally dominate the song, the guitar
work is quite fast. 'Stop Havin' Fun' is quite a fast sing a long track
that randomly features some aggressive shouts of "Stop Havin' Fun"
popping up when you wouldn’t expect it.
'Vains' starts of quite a melodic song with some sing a long vocals which
soon turn quite aggressive for the shout a long chorus. The standout track
of the album has to be 'Nothing Seems To Be The Right Word'. The song
has a lot going on and features a great guitar solo, the vocals change
from being strong normal to aggressive and shouty in no time at all and
go back to normal just as quick, everything about this song is spot on.
'Officially 2.30pm' is another strong sounding song and is a really catchy
song that really grows on you the more you listen to it.
'Wannabee' is quite a boring song, no it’s not a cover of the irritating
classic Spice Girls song but im sure if it was it would be a lot better
than the below average song Anomia have come up with here. The album closes
with 'Another Way To Say Goodbye', which is a fast paced guitar driven
punk song.
It’s good to see an Italian punk band attempting to unleash their
music on the UK crowd, the band do sound slightly like their influences
and don’t offer anything that we haven’t heard before but
overall a good attempt especially considering the band are still young.
3/5
