As we eagerly await the February 21 release of Anxious‘ sophomore album Bambi, the band has one more surprise in store—their single “Never Said.”
Frontman Grady Allen says of the new single, “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.”
He continues, “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.”

Anxious will be hitting the road in March and April 2025 to support the release of their new album with Ultra Q and Stateside as support. Check out their full touring schedule below and purchase tickets here.
