The Anabolics were born a few years ago in New York City over many beers and even more Cheap Trick records. Guitarist and singer Anna Blumenthal and everything-ist Marcelo Romero (currently behind the drums and sharing vocal duties) were spending lots of time playing Kiss trivia games and watching Cramps DVDs when the thought occurred to them to start a band. The name was chosen, and the band, in all its debauchery, was born. Bassist and singer Christina Ginger completed the trio at the end of 2007. Her melodic, driving basslines proved the perfect addition to the gain-fueled, T-Rex-like guitars and thundering drums.

Their brand new album, Anabolically Correct, is a blistering follow-up to their 2005 self-titled debut. Catchy, hook-laden songs about exes they kicked to the curb, cutting their losses and teaming up against the world feature vocal harmonies that prove that the band spends as much time listening to X as they do the Beach Boys.

The Anabolics have embarked on a midwest tour and will begin work on their third album at the end of the year.
