Anna O - Self titled

Hello again my Maggots, todays slice of musical enjoyment comes from the pits of France's underground. Anna O is by far one of Frances best kept musical secrets. Claiming two members from the ashes of hardcore/scremo legends Anomie (who are amazing in their own right), Anna O combinds the ferocious female vocal melody of Anomie and sends it through Crust-As-Fuck filter which gives us four down tuned, angry, fast, heavy, duel vocaled crust anthems. The band unfortunatly never actually released anything, the only recordings were made in 1997 for a planned 7" that was eventually scrapped, which is truly disapointing considering the quiality of these four tracks. That and theres also very little information on the band or its members, the track titles were even lost. The only thing everyone seems to agree in knowing is that the members went on to form An-atta, a band that unfortunatly seemed to have shared the same fate with releasing only a split then disbanding, and others went to join various Scremo outfits. Reguardless, this is some damn fine melodic tinged Crust/Hardcore here and it's definatley worth a listen.

P.S. Having trouble getting the html to work properly, just copy and past the link to get a tast of what they sound like.
