The Weirder Brave

The fast and furious tones of Anonymous Tip have been rocking venues up and down the UK since their inception back in 2002. They have made a real dent in the underground punk rock circuit as an unorthodox group of punk rockers with an ambiguous message. Songs about archaic politics, confessions of nymphomania, fascism within rock scenes and their deep routed suspicion of the music industry, have helped them gain a notorious and loyal following. Their musical statement of intent is to blend emotive chants with fast-paced grooves, at the same time keeping everything carefully crafted to ignite the monster inside and to provoke debate and passion.

Seminal punk legends Snuff went on to release Anonymous Tip’s self-financed and self-produced debut 6-track EP “Greetings from Wasteland” through 10 Past 10 Records and took them on a unadulterated tour around the UK with Five Knuckle, Captain Everything and of course, the mighty Snuff. The EP SOLD OUT – over 2,000 copies - and was released in other territories, where it sold well too, especially in Japan, where the band built up a cult following.

Since the release of their debut album ‘Not Your Orthodox’ in 2008, the band have also gigged with the likes of Propagandhi, Enter Shikari and The King Blues.

‘The Weirder Brave’ is the first single of their second full length album ‘Snitches & Stiches’ planned for release later this year. ‘The Weirder Brave’ is another polemic statement of frustration at the rise of media coverage for the British National Party.

Vocalist Sanj Surati says; “My best friend was picked on at school because he was white and I was brown. The shops in our high street used to have huge racist slogans painted on them calling all brown people obscenities and infestations. Young and old people had to hold their heads high in the face of such provocation. This song is about those people who dealt with this then and for those that are dealing with it now.”
