The Anomalys — Down the Hole (Slovenly)
Once a band comes out of hibernation, there’s no telling what they’ll do. The Anomalys, a rough-cut garage band out of Amsterdam, re-emerged in 2022 after a 12-year hiatus, older perhaps but not noticeably wiser, cranking ferocious, block-simple punk rock out of the standard rock line-up.
The band draws members of King Khan’s European circle of acquaintances—Remi Pablo on furious, rapturous drums and French punk guitarist Looch Vibrato of MAGNETIX and Louder Than Death. The band leader, known as BONE, plays another guitar. There is no bass, though someone’s making heavy use of the fat strings on his guitar.
This is the sort of music best honed live, and the Anomalys have spent the last two years playing a shit-ton of shows. “Anxiety,” an early single, rolls maniacally forward like a freight train with blown brakes coming down a hill. The energy is high, but it’s funneled through a narrow channel, a repeated surf riff that juts upwards like a question, then answers itself plummeting down. The drums meanwhile go off like firecrackers on a string, stuttering a beat in between regular crackling explosions. There are no vocals on this cut, it doesn’t need them. Two and a half minute of frenzy crashes into a wall.
“Despair” is the other single, and if you’re sensing a downer theme, take heart. It gallops and hurtles and pulls up sharp in raging, head-bashing spasms, running as fast and hard as a rock song can go. The band may have been paralyzed with dread and jitters when they conceived these tracks, but you’ll receive them as a double jolt of adrenaline.
The Anomalys begs comparisons with brute force punkers like Gino and the Goons and, though they’re less goofy, Personal and the Pizzas, but though they’re not in the subtlety game, they’re not sloppy either. “Coke Head” hitches a screaming guitar riff to pounding, annihilating drums, and it’s as tight as it is on fire. You can hear it in the sudden stops, blinding bits of white space in a blitzed out barrage of noise. They’re as clean as a white-out blot, everybody pulling up at once.
I reviewed Glitch a couple of years ago, noting that, “The sound is loud and primitive, sped up like a locomotive with its back cars on fire,” and that, at least, hasn’t changed. Down the Hole is better though, tightly held together even as it careens most wildly. Glitch woke up the beast, but Down the Hole sets it free to rampage.

The Anomalys - Down The Hole LP (Slovenly Records)
When it comes to channeling the feral energy of late-sixties garage rock and blending it with the raw edge of seventies New York punk, few bands do it with as much fervor as The Anomalys. Their latest release, Down The Hole, is a blistering reminder that rock ‘n’ roll is far from dead—it’s alive, kicking, and foaming at the mouth. This album is a visceral ride through a sonic landscape that’s as…

#doctorsiren#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#gravity falls fanart#monster hunter pines au#digital art#my art#procreate#I just keep thinking about ford going to find stan and helping stan get out of his bad situation#because in this world. he forgives him for accidentally sabotaging his future#and he understands that stanley just wanted his brother to stay around#and then they both go to gravity falls and hunt/research anomalies together there :(

Guys.. Stan canonically writes fanfiction, presumably posting it to ao3.. I bet that man has got the ultimate author's curse notes
"Sorry I'm late to update guys! Got arrested by the federal government for stealing materials from them to rebuild an interdimensional portal to save my long lost twin brother! But hopefully things will be more consistent now that I'm done saving him!"
"My bad for this being so rushed, currently living through the literal apacolypse!"
"Didn't mean for this too take so long y'all, had to reread the whole fic to refresh my memory after getting my brain wiped to kill the demon who used to date my brother, y'all know how it is!"
#like he is STRUGGLING#makes sense his ass is getting alll the curses#On the Stan'O'war'2 Ford has been desperately trying to track on anomoly but it keeps leading him in a literal circle#because the anomaly is Stan and his fanfic author curse#Ford realises this eventually and spends weeks studying Stan and trying to figure out how to break the curse#Stan is completely unbothered by all of it#gravity falls post#gravity falls fandom#gravity falls stan#gravity falls stanley#gravity falls stan pines#gravity falls grunkle stan#grunkle stan#stan pines#gf stanley#stanley pines#gravity falls#gravityfalls#gf fandom#ao3#ao3 writers curse#ao3 author curse#stanely pines#gf tag#gf#gravity falls tag#gf stan#gf grunkle stan#rye rambles
