Anchoress is a four-piece hardcore punk band hailing from Vancouver, BC whose razor-sharp wit is matched only by their frenzied yet deliberate sonic attack. Composed of Rob Hoover, Keenan Federico, Ricky Castanedo, and Chris Lennox-Aasen, the band is gaining new fans and critical acclaim at every turn, and shows no sign of slowing down. Having graced the cover of BeatRoute magazine with their friends Jen & Sylvia Soska (The Twisted Twins), appeared in multiple Georgia Straight features, and received regular airplay on Canadian radio, Anchoress are continually proving that they are capable of living up to the hype. The band has shared the stage with the likes of Gallows, DevilDriver, Trash Talk, Cancer Bats, Guttermouth, and Baptists, and recently collaborated with 3 Inches of Blood and Andrew W.K. on a cover of Andrew s hit song Party Hard. Always in good company, they were the first band to sign with management company CrowsNest Vancouver. With their debut album set to hit stores in Spring 2013, Anchoress is definitely the band to watch this year!
