IT IT ANITA - IT IT ANITA
Genre: post-nineties
Now and then, in certain geographical spaces, people come together, start playing in bands with their friends, open concerts for each other, local record labels appear along, a pool of fans is created and the whole thing has no recipe, it just happens. This is the description of a music scene and I believe it is also happening in Liège.
IT IT ANITA comes from Liège, Belgium and embraces an interesting style for which they came out with the name of Post-90s. Their self-titled debut EP is a breath of fresh air in an industry full of bands trying too much either to be original or copy others. Deeply rooted in the 90s, yes, but they took all they have inherited from their influences and give forth something creative, energetic and coherent.
Sonic roughness but with in-touch emotional layers, good melody, double vocals, plenty of spontaneous mixture of styles from punk to post-rock, a very good definition of alternative rock music. An album definitely full of ideas to be developed in the future. No wonder they have already caught the attention of an oversea producer for their next release... Looking forward to
