Anagram was a Canadian punk rock band from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada later based out of Toronto. The group was known for loud, frenzied and sometimes violent live shows. [1] [2]
Singer Matt Mason founded the band with his fraternal twin Willy Mason. [3] Its members, including departures and replacements, were Matt Mason, lead vocals; Jeff Peers, bassist; Clayton Churcher, drummer; guitarist Willy Mason, singer and saxophonist Jon Schwartz, guitarist Chris Lavoir, bassist Chris Taylor and keyboardist Christopher Sandes. Their self-titled debut EP was released in late 2003. [4]
The band's first full-length album, After Dark, was released in early 2006 to positive reviews. [5] Andrew Steenberg of Exclaim! wrote that the album was "a lesson in how music should be played." [6] They also released a split 12" with The Creeping Nobodies of Toronto and a 7" single in mid-2007. [7]
In 2010, the band released their third album Majewski. It was named in memory of Oshawa musician Michal Majewski. [8] [9] [10]
Of their live shows, Now wrote, "Their droning hypnotism has been known to arouse urges to violence and maybe a house fire or two." [11]
Anagram disbanded in 2012, playing their final show at The Silver Dollar Room in Toronto. [12]
In 2013, Churcher and the Mason brothers founded the band Surinam. [2] [13]
