about
The Anemic Boyfriends were 80's post-punk band from Anchorage, Alaska. Their lyrics are delivered with a mocking leer, and then a goofy little melodica hook punch-lines them, sounding exactly how Ashlee Simpson’s embarrassed Saturday Night Live dance looked. So yeah, “Guys Are Not Proud” is an amazing song, apparently a favorite of John Peel’s (for more on that, go here, the only place I could find anything about these gals) and clearly a cut worthy of the post-punk pantheon — the lyrics so coy and fun, the dub aspects so perfectly applied and the dingy recording quality that conceals and enhances so much.
