New York City's Moral Panic premieres its new single, "Anti, Anti, Anti," a scorching cover of the 1977 song by Phoenix punks The Consumers (whose guitarist Paul B. Cutler went on to form 45 Grave).

Moral Panic's cover of "Anti, Anti, Anti" appears on the band's new album Validation, out September 9th on Reptilian Records (US) and Alien Snatch! Records (Europe). Validation was recorded by Joe Hogan (Ronnie Spector, Murphy's Law) and mixed by Jeff Burke (Radioactivity, The Marked Men).

It is rare that a self-proclaimed "punk" band can rock as hard as Moral Panic. This has been founder/frontman Daniel Kelley's cross to bear since the beginning. Kelley has been quoted in the past stating that his band was "too rock n' roll for the punks and too punk for the rock n' rollers." Middle fingers outstretched, he only leans further into this identity crisis on Validation and the results are thrilling.
With Hogan and Burke's larger-than-life production, Validation lands somewhere between Dead Boys, The Who, and KISS, capturing Moral Panic at its best yet: on fire, in its own sphere, oblivious to trends. Kelley's gloriously cranked guitars gnash and flail; his dueling tracks spar gleefully like freshly unchained pit bulls at play. The new rhythm section of Michael Dimmitt and Eric Robel – a formidable unit who made their debut on the "White Knuckles" seven-inch – plows down the rails with the momentum of a runaway train in alpine terrain.
Kelley states: "Our goal was to be a bit less lo-fi and get more of a big, loud, noisy, pissed sound! I don't really think that the influences have changed much, but the rhythm section is definitely stronger and has evolved the band into a bigger sound."
