Anwar Sadat is an American punk band from Louisville, KY, composed of William Carpenter (drums), Clay Farris (guitar), and Shane Wesley (bass, vocals). Their main influences include Wire, The Ex, Sonic Youth, and Jimi Hendrix. They've been described as "chunky, angular, frantic post-punk on a razor's edge"[1]; their recent 'Mutilation' cassette earning praise from the likes of Tinymixtapes [2], The Needle Drop [3], and Gumshoe Grove [4]. The band has just released their debut full-length, 'Gold', on Sophomore Lounge.
