Belfast-based horror garage punk band A.N.J.A. release new single ‘When You’re The Worst You’re The Best’ – as premiered on the LOUD WOMEN radio show this week
This fiery, unapologetic anthem doubles as the mantra for A.N.J.A.’s “cult” of fearless rebellion, a celebration of bad behavior, glorious chaos, and wild, unrestrained passion. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day devoted to love’s darker side.
‘W.Y.T.W.Y.T.B’ tears it up with a dirty Garage riff that would make The Stooges proud. The audio phasing over the climax reminds me of Hawkwind’s ‘Silver Machine’.
Anja Romer’s nonchalant yet ferocious vocals cement A.N.J.A’s status as one of the most exciting punk rock acts in the Irish scene. Obvious reference points are Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills, L7 and early PJ Harvey.
