Founded in 2024 and led by Patrick Coffin of the Mighty Happy Crew, Appalachian Anarchy fuses the sounds of high-energy metal and hootin'-hollerin' bluegrass for a combination that, perhaps surprisingly, goes together like biscuits and gravy. Based in Utah, Patrick puts to use his expertise of folk-inspired guitar work to craft intricate, bouncy melodies with rich metal textures that evoke the rugged landscapes of Appalachia.
Currently without a solidified lineup of musicians beyond Patrick, the band primarily releases only studio recordings with different instrument parts recorded either track by track by Patrick himself or with the contributions of additional studio musicians or sample-based plugins when necessary.
As the project continues to grow, more of the recording process has been able to become less reliant on MIDI or anything other than traditionally recorded instrumentation, but the writing process has always been (and will continue to be) done by human beings that truly enjoy creating and playing music.
