Anarchy 99 is a Canadian-based collaborative project featuring Devi McCallion (of Black Dresses) and producer So Drove. The duo emerged in 2020, quickly establishing a sound that bridges the gap between industrial, hyperpop, and experimental noise.
Their work is characterized by extreme dynamic shifts, heavy use of digital distortion, and lyrical themes centered on identity, trauma, and survival. McCallion's influence brings a signature raw emotionality and punk-adjacent vocal delivery, while So Drove provides a sophisticated, albeit aggressive, electronic foundation that draws from EBM and club music. Critically, they are viewed as key figures in the 'post-internet' experimental scene, often associated with the DIY ethos of the Bandcamp underground. Their discography, including Rockstar Super Heat and Half Blessed, reflects a relentless evolution toward more complex, layered arrangements that maintain a sense of urgent, unpolished chaos. They are a primary reference point for the intersection of queer identity and industrial music in the 2020s.
