Episode 120: Anis Maknojia and the Stolen Wheelchairs

Anis Maknojia’s resume reads more like a 20-year veteran of the Los Angeles creative scene rather than a recent transplant from Houston, Texas. Since arriving in Los Angeles, he has clocked time as a model, an actor, a business owner and producer. However, he credits the social media site Instagram with giving him his first platform of expression. He’s worked with luxury brands including Tom Ford, Don Julio, Giorgio Armani, Mercedes-Benz, among others.  

STOLEN WHEELCHAIRS are authentic teenage punk rock. You can’t fake the energy that they emit. Straight from the depths of Hostile City, they play fast, angsty, anthemic hardcore punk with an authenticity that has been lacking in today’s scene. STOLEN WHEELCHAIRS are the latest in a series of forebearers of the punk banner in the Philadelphia area. VIOLENT SOCIETY and THE BOILS come to mind. STOLEN WHEELCHAIRS draw from all these bands and more. Their debut album 'The America' was recorded DIY by vocalist Oscar Capps and the band at the family home. 'The America' is a record lathered with traditional punk influences and sprinkled with much, much more. STOLEN WHEELCHAIRS draw inspiration from a million bands before them, from MINOR THREAT to THE UNSEEN but put their own unreplicable twist on the classic punk rock sound. Oscar and the band can write some unforgettable punk rock anthems. Will The America resonate in the same way as OXYMORON and LOWER CLASS BRATS? That depends on how loud you choose to sing along. The America was in progress before the shutdown. You’ll get a million energetic live shows from East Coast to West and over to Europe when this sh!! storm finally passes.
