Anticonscience

We are Anticonscience: a Des Moines style alternative and punk rock band. We currently play small scale shows at local venues characterized with lots of energy, as well as a consistent attempt to mix things up and experiment with new sounds from varying genres like punk, alternative, pop, indie, funk, folk, hardcore, and even some ska (much to the dismay of our drummer). 

We are currently attempting to play about a show a month or more, and this summer intend to play as many as possible. Contact us via Facebook or email if you are interested in tickets for any of our upcoming shows.

We are currently in the process of writing and recording our debut album, Baptists & Anarchists which should be released somewhere near the end of the summer and early fall.

Three high school friends raised in a homeschool environment spent their time playing Green Day and Modest Mouse covers in a basement. One day, one of them said "Hey! This sounds pretty ok." So they called themselves "Branded As Better." After everyone asked them why they were called, "Brandon Is Better" and why there was no one named Brandon in the band, they renamed themselves "Anticonscience." There are three of us.
