Album Notes

Anita and the Yanks are an Irish rock band who have been performing in and around Los Angeles since 2008. Anita Mansfield's songs haunt and heal you while her voice melts you. Bryan Dobbs's mandolin countermelodies support while Rachel Grace's violin explodes over top of some of LA's finest rhythm machines, Tommy Amato, Andy Reilly and Jimmy Murphy. What is created is a new sound all it's own, which somehow feels like a memory.

"Anita and the Yanks take the stage and launch their blend of Irish traditional music and original songs with panache and style. Anita's voice searing and soaring with violin and mandolin driven selections one after another. What a show!"
-Ken O'Malley, The Twilight Lords

"Losing yourself in their music, you would swear you were sitting in some Irish pub... catch them before they make it big time."
-Gillian Lomax, Britsound RadioNews/Breakfast with the Beatles
