Press Reviews
From UltimateMetal.com:
"It's unusual to go to a local venue and see a band that is offering up a sound so fresh and original that it defies classification beyond perfunctoray hints at possible influences... But, that's what I got to savour last night The Little Civic.
Aneska started off the night, with an eclectic opening set that bristled with energy and enthusiasm. 'This is our first gig,' informed singer Daniel Evans, 'so be gentle with us. Very gentle.' The irony of his statement became apparent when he unleashed his stentorian bellow during the heavier moments of songs that veered between nu-metal mosh-groove, near-noisecore dissonance and trad-rock melodicism without leaving room for breath. In terms of stage presence, it must be said that the miniscule stage almost couldn't hold them, the guitarist in particular proving entertaining to watch, here throwing himself about like a hyperactive eight-year-old, and there drooping over his guitar like a suicidal mannequin.
Particular highlights included the jarring, labyrinthine structures of 'Forest', the almost-perfectly timed mosh-groove money shots contained within 'Whatever' and the excellent set-closer 'Nice Day'. It's clear that with a bit more polish to the song structures and more experience as a live unit, Aneska will become a force to be reckoned with. [8]" |
