Anniversary Circle who originally hail from a then small mining community in South Yorkshire were producing original material before their time, there seemed nothing else better to do during the post punk era with mass unemployment, the miners’ strike and the wind of change blowing over darkened horizons. With the colour of grey through every pain of glass, the records danced on the turntables as bands such as the Banshees, Joy Division and Bauhaus influenced a whole new era.


Keith and Martin  together penned their own tunes and went by the name of Edo La Tree Le Plastic Elephants did so under the toxic rain of Margaret Thatcher. During the 1980s post punk era they were defiantly the winters children and aroused the cliché 'its grim up North' whilst they thought of themselves as eerie, disquieting and strange being influenced by the joy Division, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Gang of Four, Bauhaus and John Lennon. Whilst managing to make a difference in their small shunted mining town (as no one else seemed to be bothering.) It did not last as they defected in to the Skeleton Crew and the Malak Brood.
 
 As Le Plastic Elephants became a forgotten invention girlfriends came and went as did the bands and line-ups. Martin and Keith reunited in 1989 with the help of Adrian Fusiarski  to Form what was later to become known as the Buzzsonic and wrote new material keeping the old stuff in a very dark place under lock and key, only for Keith to leave in 1990.
 
After many years  Martin who chases the aces in Surrey and Keith who keeps the spit turning in Yorkshire are reunited once again as Anniversary Circle.
 
 Estelliane Kermagoret the most recent edition to the band, originally from Brittany, brings her ethereal tones to the Anniversary Circle sound with a breath of new life amongst the lost souls.

The debut album will be released on the 15th of August. It is an album of dark ironic tales of a glimmering soul that hides the truth behind the hands of a drowning man. Story’s from birth to death, leaps of faith to a bottomless pit, threats of danger and desire and nightmares of falling and never waking up.

Anniversary Circle You’re born, you live and you die in your beds. On each occasion there is cause for celebration or mourning. Always acted upon without question… When we die do we ask? Do we go to heaven? Do we go to hell? Or are we part of the atheist ,agnostic, organic, Darwinist plan and go to earth? Turn to dust? Do we have a choice? Or are we in a perpetual cycle for all eternity? Anniversary Circle, an existing living hell. 

Anniversary Circle the music of Alternative/Gothic/Post Punk prose. They are the burning embers of the last forgiven souls.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process (you) do not become a monster.  And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” -Friedrich Nietzsche 
 
War torn from past and present battles of mental illness and addiction, the monsters are very real and the abyss is a current state of reality for MXMS, short for “Me and My Shadow." Comprised of singer Ariel Levitan and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Dawson,  the self-produced duo from New York City and small town Oklahoma creates their own musical genre “Funeral Pop” fusing classic melodic songwriting with dark unfiltered chaos driven by a thousand forms of fear.     
 
Me and My Shadow pendulum swing from raw piano and voice to an expansive pallet of dark instrumentation, pulsing analog synthesizers and a crushing rhythm section layered around Ariel’s haunting delivery.   Focusing on movements of emotional trauma and taboo metaphoric expression, the brutal honesty of MXMS leaves an open invitation for listeners' own stories rise to the surface.    
 
Their deubt EP Funeral Pop I  includes previous singles “Paris,” “After Night,” and “Gravedigger,” which garnered attention from Suicide Sheep, Earmilk, KCRW, and Spotify editorial playlists including Chill Vibes, Alternative Beats, Sludge, Just Chill, Fresh Finds, and Indie Darlings as well as the Topsify's Indie Mixtape playlist. “Paris” also hit #1 on Hype Machine the first week of release, and MXMS has received press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, NestHQ, Rolling Stone, Fader and many others.
