Anxious Share New Single "Never Know" from new LP "Bambi" due out February 21st

Bambi is almost here! Connecticut punk favorites, Anxious, are gearing up for their highly anticipated sophomore album, due out this Friday February 21st via Run For Cover Records, and today they're sharing one more single ahead of the big day: the gigantic album opener "Never Said."Earlier singles "Some Girls," "Counting Sheep" and "Head & Spine" have introduced listeners to Anxious' exciting next chapter, and "Never Said" keeps the big guitars and bigger melodies coming.
Vocalist Grady Allen discussed the new track saying: "In our music subculture, there often seems to be this dynamic where people stay close to others regardless of the fact of whether they really like them or not. You hear subtle whispers and rumors about what people really think of you, but those feelings are never expressed to you directly. It's an exhausting social dynamic and one that I am desperate to let go of. 'Never Said''s lyrics focus on that idea. The song came about super weirdly and indirectly. I went over to Dante's house last winter and we just started shooting this riff back and forth. We started frankenstein-ing new parts onto it over several months and eventually it just sort of fell into what it was. It was a cool process- we rarely write that way. It was fun to just sort of keep throwing things together and see what happened."
Stream the crushing new single below and make sure to check out the new LP when it drops this Friday February 21st. Full album press release below.

Bambi
February 21, 2025Connecticut punk favorites Anxious are releasing their sophomore album "Bambi" via Run For Cover Records on February 21st, showcasing a blend of hardcore grit, alternative rock, and classic emo dynamism. The album features lead single "Counting Sheep" now available on DSPs that nods to influences like Jimmy Eat World and The Smashing Pumpkins while remaining uniquely Anxious. Produced by Brett Romnes, "Bambi" is described as a meticulously arranged, emotionally charged record that takes big swings, delving into themes of leaving adolescence behind and the challenges of being in a rising band. The result is a massive leap forward and an endlessly anthemic rock record.
