The Anti-Queens Drop Anthemic New Album “Disenchanted”

The Anti-Queens, Toronto's premiere punk rock 'n' rollers, have just released their latest LP, "Disenchanted," with an accompanying video for the track "Overthinking". The new album appears worldwide on digital and vinyl formats via Stomp Records. For over a decade, The Anti-Queens have been a prominent force in Toronto's music scene. The band is led by the fiercely talented and dynamic duo of Emily Bones and Valerie Knox, who bring a punk-rock energy that challenges the male-dominated music industry.

Known for their electrifying live performances, they've gained a reputation for their unstoppable energy and powerful stage presence. Their latest album Disenchanted, Recorded at Drive Studios in Toronto by Steve Rizun and Dave Baksh, continues their tradition of crafting infectious, hook-laden anthems that will surely delight fans of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, The Distillers, Hole, L7, Lunachicks, and The Warning.

Written by Emily Bones and Valerie Knox over the course of the pandemic, this album is a conscious meeting of vulnerability, self reflection, and finding one’s self worth and motivation to attack what life throws at you head-on. As the band says: Nothing is held back and everything is on the table. Disenchanted, light and dark, bright and dreary. Magical and kinda sad.

Filmed by Michael Crusty, Sarah Mathieson, and edited by Michael Crusty, the video stars Emily Bones, Valerie Knox, Michael Crusty, Zoe McMillan, Ivy Bones, and Maggie Knox. Shot against the picturesque backdrop of Uxbridge, the outdoor scenes radiate with the warmth of carefree summer days, perfectly embodying the song's theme of navigating the mental labyrinth of overthinking. The use of projection techniques during the indoor shoot, where the summer footage is overlaid onto the studio walls as the band performs, creates a visually stunning harmony, seamlessly blending both worlds and enhancing the narrative resonance of the music while simultaneously linking both moments together.

Founded back in 2012 by the visionary singer/songwriter Emily Bones, The Anti-Queens have been carving their unique mark on the international punk rock landscape. With a sound as defiant as their name suggests, they blend raw energy, lyrical depth, and an unapologetic stage presence that captivates audiences everywhere they go. They've embarked on extensive tours across Canada, the United States, and Europe, sharing stages with notable acts like Danko Jones, Streetlight Manifesto, and Protest The Hero. Their festival performances include appearances at 77 MTL, Montebello Rockfest, and Pouzza Fest, among others, showcasing their ability to captivate audiences on a grand scale.

Throughout their journey, The Anti-Queens have remained a symbol of resilience, creativity, and the unbreakable bond of music. Their narrative is a testament to their ability to adapt, overcome, and inspire, connecting with audiences around the globe through electrifying performances and a genuine commitment to their craft. The new album is absolutely rammed with massive pop-punk-rock anthems. From defiant ragers to heartfelt angry love songs to scathing social castigations, Disenchanted is set to be the summertime favorite for rebels, misfits and outcasts.
