Anyways

The Starting Line

A punchy, three-song return that trades teenage angst for adult reflection. Polished, high-energy rock with a seasoned, melodic edge.

Anyways feels like a deep breath after a long silence. It captures the specific sensation of returning to a familiar place and realizing how much you have changed while the foundation remains the same. The music is propulsive and bright, yet there is a weight to the performance that suggests the band is no longer playing for the suburban crowds of their youth, but for themselves. It is the sound of a band reclaiming their identity without the pressure of a full-length album, resulting in a concentrated burst of creative energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive drum entry on the title track that signals the band's return after a decade.
The bridge of 'Quitter' where the guitars pull back for a tense, rhythmic build-up.
The soaring, anthemic chorus of 'Luck' that feels like a more sophisticated evolution of their early hits.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
