Sounds Like RECENT REVIEWS

Like Pavement, [Death to Anders] is consciously aware of their sound, steering and shaping it instead of letting it control them. They know when to kick in the distortion and scream unintelligently, and when to harmonize over a pretty shuffle. Like the Pixies, their song structures are unorthodox but do not alienate, and can seamlessly and radically alter their tempo and volume while weaving hypnotic melodies into a solid rhythmic backbone.

-Delusions of Adequacy Full Review Here

Death to Anders deftly avoids genre classification. A T1000 of a rock act, they expertly shifted gears and changed moods without betraying the heart of their sound. I'm already prepared to call "Great Plains States" the first great song of 2008.

-Classical Geek Theatre Full Review Here

The four members of Death to Anders' intelligent utilization of a satirically invigorating story-led lyrical delivery provides for an entertaining scope into the modernistic age we are all familiar with. One can easily hear shades of Isaac Brock and Stephen Malkmus in vocalist Rob Danson’s delivery, with his range impressively stretching from moments of squealing intensity to subdued murmurs of sincere ardency. This is done over an equally impressive instrumental approach, with a wide array of guitars, keys, strings, and an exceptionally tight rhythm section.

-Obsure Sound Full Review Here

But judging from the guitar squalor and dissonant edge on its new album, "Fictitious Business," frontman Rob Danson and his bandmates mean business.

-LA Times (Buzz Bands) Full Review Here

Fictitious Business is the lost album between Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" and "Wowee Zowee."

-Amateur Chemist Full Review Here

Rob Danson's vocals are strongly unique and add to the bizarre storytelling that the songs put forth.

-No-Fi Magazine Full Review Here

The California based indie band, Death To Anders...offers up some tasty, deceptively simple, jangling guitar work that wonderfully foreshadows something much more sinister and complex. With cryptic lyrics that float over beautifully jarring notes and sounds...Death To Anders captures perfectly all the smoldering sins that pile up in the corners of our lives and has burned them into a terrific CD that demands repeated listens.

-College Crowd Digs Me Full Review Here

The music itself is whimsical, making good use of the juxtaposition between quiet strums and blaring distortion. Death To Anders have a noisy yet cheerful approach sure to endear them to the DIY pop crowd.

-Grave Concerns Full Review Here

Death to Anders takes their folk-influence and frays it at the edges with rock influences like Sonic Youth.....not only are the songs catchy, they also have substance!

-Loose Record Full Review Here

Local indie rock act Death To Anders are one of the hardest working bands in this great big town of ours…. it's no surprise that they've become a really solid live act.

-Joe Fielder (Radio Free Silverlake) Full Review Here

The guys rocked the crap out of their sweat drenched set!

DEATH TO ANDERS' BIO

Playing engagingly fractured indie rock that's witty, intelligent, and challenging all at once, the group Death to Anders were formed by singer/guitarist Rob Danson and guitarist Nicholas Ceglio while the two were students at the Musician's Institute in Hollywood, CA. While most of their classmates were interested in heavy metal or progressive rock, Danson and Ceglio bonded over their shared enthusiasm for indie rock avatars such as Sonic Youth, the Pixies, and especially Pavement (to whom Death to Anders have been often compared). The two briefly performed as a duo before teaming up with bassist Peter DiBiasio and drummer John Broeckel, who had been playing together since the late '90s with the band Crooner; other members of Crooner would go on to form Silversun Pickups.

With a firm lineup in place, Death to Anders began playing out regularly at clubs in Los Angeles' Echo Park and Silverlake districts, and in time they banded together with several other L.A. acts, including the Transmissions, One Trick Pony, Henry Clay People, the Happy Hollows, and Die Rockers Die!, to form the Central Second Collective, a group dedicated to promoting original music in Los Angeles and helping worthwhile acts find gigs. In the fall of 2005, Death to Anders self-released their first album, Punctuate the Calamities, which was recorded at the Musician's Institute studios, and it received enthusiastic reviews as the group's reputation grew on the West Coast. In 2008, D2A teamed up with producer Dave Newton to record their second full-length disc, a significantly more elaborate concept piece called Fictitious Business that cast a jaundiced eye at life in the new millennium. The EP Enigmatic Market was released later the same year.

Death to Anders has recently finished their highly successful residency at THE ECHO in Silverlake, California, where they headlined every week for the entire month of September. They are currently shooting their music video for their single "Camera Lens," and will head out to South by Southwest this March.

Most auspicious greetings & salutations to you, Death To Anders, you delicious little morsel. Panic Movement wants you to know that you are indeed most beautiful. Let no one lead you to believe otherwise. We’re excited about the new headgear that we have acquired that allows us to inhale nitrous oxide wherever we go. We got the idea after reading about the Ringmaster of Russia’s long running Moscow Cat Circus. He had a leech latch itself to his left eyeball. Apparently, he was gardening and inadvertently flicked some soil into his eye. Unbeknownst to him, there was a leech in that particular batch of soil. Feeling something strange in his eye, he went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror so that he could see what was attached to his eye. When he saw the leech, he got the idea that it possessed magical powers and feared its retribution should he try to remove it. We want great and beautiful things for you. We wish you an abundance of love, peace, and prosperity. Electrocute your neighbor’s dog and start a strange new religion.
