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.
