Having had the absolute pleasure of speaking with frontman and now sole member Brandon Smith earlier this year, we here at AltWire are proud to premiere ‘Wasteland’: a brand new track from electronic rock artist The Anix! Leaning more heavily into the experimental […]
With easily justified comparisons to the likes of early Thirty Seconds to Mars, flavors of Depeche Mode, and a wonderfully prominent influence of The Cure thrown into the mix, The Anix’s own brand of ethereal […]
It’s perhaps too easy to forget that taking steps in the right direction isn’t always the simplest task. There’s a shrewd shred of self-awareness in that knowledge: the realization that maybe it just isn’t going […]
Sun Dried Vibes (https://www.altwire.net/2018/02/08/altwire-interview-sun-dried-vibes/) recently released “Stay Hopeful” around Labor Day weekend, and this album goes to show that summer isn’t over just yet! Their lead singer and guitarist, Zach Fowler took some time to […]
