Anu Beginning--WHOLE EP UP--

About Me

'Every so often, a group of people are brought together for one reason or another, wether it be for religion, common goals, or music. Every so often a group of people are brought together for all three reasons, and have the ability to impact people through what they create. Music is perhaps one of the most powerful tools in spreading a message, and it works especially well if you have an extraordinary message to spread....''
It would almost be to simple to write off these 4 young musicians as a mismatch group of pop-mosh prodigies. Hailing from southwestern Ontario members Matt Saunders (vocals), Aaron Barry (vocals/guitar), Tanner Havens (bass) and Adam McNaughton (drums) financed their first demo in 2009 and have been hitting the pavement ever since. Mixing elements of pop, punk and hardcore (with the occasional rap cover) Anu Beginning strives to bring something different to the music scene which has become overwhelmed with young bands. Originally formed in 2008, and after seeing members come and go, Anu solidified the lineup in February of 2009, playing their first show March 16 2009 in Chatham Ontario. Since then they have began their ascent on the current music scene.
''One of the most energetic acts I have ever seen in the ten years I've owned a bar...''
''Did you just spit a mouthful of water on that girl in the front row....really...?''
''You're probably our favourite band to share the stage with....you guys always bring cupcakes.''
''Rising up from rural towns spread across a 2 hour radius, Anu Beginning has hit the scene hard, bring elements of pop and hardcore, creating an explosive mix of screaming, singing and sing along anthems...''
''Are you the band that breaks all their stuff?''
