	yes it's true... after the escape to a monastery of our last drummer - the acid panda - who was in desparate need off some sort of controls - we are excited and buzzed out to announce SHEILA STOCKING as the new tub thumper on the scene.... Sheila comes with vast experience, common sense (a drummer? are you sure?) She has been co-opted into the dangerous world of face paints and is now to be seen with flying sticks and drum skin trix at all the most salubrious parties across London and beyond... come witness the wood - you know you should.....
	Situationist Normal - A Collection of Lies, Hearsay and Truths of an Inconvenient Nature Review in Golf Sale Zine by Dan Impossible
	The album is atmospheric, dark and ocassionally (and satisfyingly) sleazy. Part album - part performance piece - it's a collection of abstracts threaded together with passion and attitude and it's more than worthy of a proper listen rather than beingstuck on in the background while you're jogging or fucking or whatever you might be doing at the time. To read the full review buy Golf Sale Zine here To order your copy go to our shop.

What People Have Said...

"that tune sounds like what's wrong with the clutch on my car" - Marina 'Pussy Dead Leg' Young, whilst learning a new wood track in November 2011 'The Sisters of the Daughters of the Mothers of Invention' - Rolf Harris look-a-like at Tigers gig June 2011 "you look like, in the nicest kind of way, you don't give a fuck" - observer in Brighton April 2011 "i don't remember it that well. i just remember a lot of nudity and a hospitalisation and finding what I heard of your band very interesting. but i couldn't remember what you were called .... so now i'm listening to your stuff. very wierd and cool. it sort of makes me think what would it be like if amanda palmer took acid and joined a grunge band... ... and the answer is anarchistwood" Dan Daydream - after seeing the 'wood in Birmingham with Wrapped in Plastic 16.04.11 They create a post-punk sound of their own with a creative song structure, the singer beginning one song with a short rap, and in another falling into something close to opera singing. Imagine if The Slits had existed in our time and founded The 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster and teamed up with Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls. Then you'd have something similar to Anarchistwood. Ellen Melin on Anarchistwood★★★★, www.londonfestivalfringe.com January 2011 Sleaze Rock? White comical dance rock punk? - various associates of Savage Rehab August 2010 you look fucking great - you sound fucking awful!- Kunt and the Gang fan July 2010 Last night was awesome, thanks so much, we grinned like bastards for the whole set. nice touch the drummer humping my leg like a dog at the end. if only every band were so friendly Spoon - The Monkeyball Experiment May 2010 When it comes to raising the roof, Anarchistwood like to turn up the heat a notch and burn the whole goddamned house to the ground. Previous comparisons to The Butthole Surfers and The Jesus Lizard just don’t do this mighty troupe justice. Personally I’m thinking the New York Dolls vs. GG Allin (sans faecal projectiles). Had the stage not being at floor level then we might have faced a mosh pit of disaster zone proportions (yes, really). Peter Makinde - Hackney Hive 17.04.10 Can punk music be established.... ? Jan Maat NO:ID February 2010 Daisy Chainsaw - Lee McFadden from Alternative TV 07.08.09 Like the Cramps with Patti Smith - Brady from Legendary DNA Cowboys IOTG 31.01.09 Swampy Melvins - Sean Organ January 2009 Butthole Surfers with Patti Smith and Crass - Organ Magazine 10.09.08 So good I was afraid to listen to the end - an ex-member February 2008
