Aanthems

Here's what they had to say...

♪ ♫ ♪

        Q: For those who don’t know you, can you please introduce yourself and describe your sound?

Aanthems is a bass and drums power duo made of actual brothers who yell practically the whole time. Punk thats technical enough to keep you on your toes with a heavy dose of noise rock. Ryan play bass totally wrong and Geof tries to sound like a train derailing, but in a cool way.

        Q: What’s one of the biggest successes you’ve had as a musician?

Just being able to continue making our racket feels like a big deal. We’ve been fortunate enough to play almost every venue in the city, open for some of our favourite bands on tour, and be a part of Vancouver’s amazing scene.

        Q: What’s your favourite venue to play?

Tie between Green Auto and Red Gate they both have a beautiful DIY ethos and the people are top notch.

        Q: What do you think was the best Medium for music to be on? (Vinyl, Tape, CD, Digital)?

Vinyl is the coolest but arguably, nothing can touch digital. mp3s cracked open the whole industry and levelled the playing field. Anyone can make a record and release it worldwide now and that puts a lot of power in the hands of artists. CDs are the worst.

        Q: Who is your favourite local band to see perform around town?

What a hard question! So many have come and gone. Dead End Drive-In never disappoints and I’m keeping close tabs on fresh faces like Luella and Weak Knees!

        Q: What’s coming up next for your music?



More local shows, eventually we’ll finish some new music to put out. Just moving at a pace that works for us.

Show Review - Put THAT In The Bible!

Image
Support the Scene had the opportunity to send one of our incredibly talented photographers to see Bible Girl, Doom Loops, and Kites on Mars on November 8th, at Lana Lou's. Here's what Jade Weekes had to say about the incredible performance that these bands put on.  ♪ ♫ ♪ Bible Girl had their first show at Lana Lou's last night. Their sound was a great mix of indie rock with a touch of shoegaze. Since it was their first show, it was expected to have a couple of flubs but they carried on like the seasoned musicians they are. Many dynamic changes made their set full of unexpected energy bursts, amidst their more low-key overall sound. Keep an eye out for their upcoming single!  ♪ ♫ ♪   Doom Loops brought some tasty piano licks, soaring synths, and catchy vocals; and that was only from ONE of their members! The whole band really had tunes that were full of quirky lyrics and bass lines that made your feet just move on their own. They had great harmonies and really used ...
