Bunkerland by Anecdata is full of guitars aided by the Op-Amp Big Muff ‘Pi’ pedal (made famous by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins) clash with massive drums and fiery synths.

The title track – inspired by the doomsday merchants looking for sanctuary in New Zealand after they’ve ruined the rest of the world – churns through its riffs in 90 seconds flat.

‘The Wow! Signal’ throws synths into the mix, pondering the existence of alien life, while Kleptomania/Precariat imagines a world without capitalism – but with metal riffs.

Elsewhere there’s the Siamese Dream riffage and #nzpol musings of ‘Not Evil Enough’, the mechanical drums and dreams of ‘Utopia’ and psychedelic punk of ‘Your Lizard Mouth’.

In 2024 the album was remixed from scratch, vastly improving the sound, and released with a new cover. The original album can still be found on streaming and Bandcamp.
