Miranda and the Beat - "Anxiety"

Miranda and the Beat are one of the coolest garage rock/punk bands out there. Their latest single, "Anxiety," is the type of song that is going to induce anxiety. It's a garage/punk anthem, but has this certain element spiking during the song that is sure to trigger any anxiety you have. The song feels jerky, and has an amped up intensity to it. It's almost a little too fast, the guitars are a little too disjointed, and singer Miranda Zipse has an almost shriek to her vocals. Despite how anxiety inducing the song "Anxiety" can be, it's certainly a must listen. This might be the most punk of all of Miranda and the Beat's singles for their upcoming album.

Miranda Zipse says of her band's latest single:

"This song legit causes anxiety. This goddamn song has got me so stumped. I shot two different ideas for music videos and pulled two all-nighters this past week at work trying to get them together between working this job and nothing was looking good enough to put out."

You can listen to "Anxiety" below. Can't Take It is due out October 25 on Ernest Jenning Record Co./Khannibalmism/Wild Honey, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on Miranda and the Beat, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram.
