The Anti-Queens: Disenchanted

Fronted by Emily Bones and Valerie Knox, Toronto based punk rock quartet The Anti-Queens have been keeping it real since 2012. Their latest album Disenchanted ticks all the boxes: basic, loud and fast guitars, poppy harmonies and lyrics about taking shit from nobody. Drummer Zoe McMillan and bass player Michael Amaral are super tight, creating a rock solid foundation that goes straight for the guts.

It has all done been before by bands like L7 and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, but the energy is contagious. Disenchanted is the kind of album that should be played really fucking loud after a bad day, a breakup, or feeling the need to annoy the neighbours.
