Hi Anxious: South Africa's Genre-Bending Rebels

Sludge Underground Podcast

EP392: From the depths of Cape Town’s underground scene, Hi Anxious has emerged with a DIY ethos, a genre-blurring sound, and an uncompromising approach to music. In this episode, we dive into their creative process, the journey behind their debut EP, and what it means to curate every aspect of their art, from hand-crafted merch to carefully selected venues.
Blending psychedelia, grunge, emo, hardcore, metal, and prog, Hi Anxious refuses to be boxed in. Their music is raw, energetic, and emotive, reflecting a mindset where the easy way is never the best way.
Join us as we explore their vision, their influences, and how they’re redefining South Africa’s alternative scene. If you love music that defies expectations, this conversation is for you!
