Wikipedia
An anagram is direct word switch or word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; for example, the word anagram can be rearranged into nag-a-ram. Someone who creates anagrams may be called an "anagrammatist". The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram. Anagrams are often used as a form of mnemonic device as well.
Any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram. However, the goal of serious or skilled anagrammatists is to produce anagrams that in some way reflect or comment on the subject.
Anagram was a Canadian punk rock band from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada based out of Toronto.
The band saw extensive personnel changes since Matt Mason founded the band with his fraternal twin Willy Mason, but it eventually settled into its current membership: Matt Mason, lead vocals; Jeff Peers, bassist; Clayton Churcher, drummer;and Willy Mason, guitarist. Their self-titled debut EP was released in late 2003. Their first full-length album, After Dark, was released in early 2006. They have also released a split 12" with The Creeping Nobodies of Toronto as well as a 7" single in mid-2007. The band released their third album in 2010 Majewski on record label Dead Astronaut.
Some critics have referred to Anagram as "Toronto's best live band", and Now wrote, "Their droning hypnotism has been known to arouse urges to violence and maybe a house fire or two." Andrew Steenberg of Exclaim! wrote that their album is "a lesson in how music should be played."
Anagram played their final show at The Silver Dollar Room on April 13, 2012. In 2013, three members of Anagram's final lineup reconvened as Surinam.
