Anxious was founded in 2016 in Darien, Connecticut by vocalist/guitarist Grady Allen, vocalist/bassist Sam Walter and drummer Michelle Siegel. In 2017, Siegel left the group and was replaced by Dante Melucci. That same year, the band independently recorded and released their debut E.P. Carved. In 2019, they recruited lead guitarist Ryan Savitsky and signed to Triple-B Records. That year, the group recorded and released two more E.P's, Promo 2019 and Never Better. Also that year, Grady Allen ceased playing guitar in the group. Melucci subsequently switched from drums to lead guitar/backing vocals, and Jonny Camner replaced him on drums/percussion. Shortly afterwards, Walter left the group and was replaced by bassist/backing vocalist Sam Allen.

In 2021, the band recorded and released their debut single “New Shapes” (their first with the new lineup). Also that year, the band contributed a new song to the labels “America’s Hardcore Volume Five”, with the song “The Long Spring”. In 2022, the band signed with Run For Cover records, and released their debut album, “Little Green House”. Shortly afterwards, Savitsky left the group, and was replaced by backing vocalist/rhythm guitarist Tommy Harte. The band subsequently released two singles, "Sunsign" and "Where You Been?" (the first of which was sung by Melucci).

In September of 2023, the group released another single "Down, Down", which included shared lead vocals between Grady Allen and Melucci.
