Anberlin

Anberlin is the that kind of band that really gets your heart pumping and your mouth moving to the catchy lyrics and pulse pounding beats and riffs . I first came upon these guys back in my Limewire days. A friend of mine let me borrow a DVD full of music videos and this was one of them:



From there I was curious to what other songs they had so I fired up my 12 yr old compaq and used my best friend at the time Limewire to download and push the limits of the machine. I could only download the most 3 at a time because 1. I was using dial-up and 2. it would freeze every time I exceeded the limit. As it was downloading I sampled one track, because of my lack of bandwidth the sample only gave me about like 2 seconds of this track. From that instant I knew I would love this music.

Fast forward a few years, 1 amazing live show, several late night T.V. appearances, and 4 albums later, Anberlin has matured with not only their sound but their song meanings as well. This band started changing right when I started changing. I am no longer that 18 year old boy that rocks out alone in his room to the point of exhaustion. I have found that they are just a bunch of guys (mostly Christians) that play good music.I find myself actually thinking of the song lyrics in stead of just saying them. Some people might say that when a band changes their sound they are selling out and are leaving the fans behind. I don't believe this is the case with Anberlin.



Even though their music has toned down a bit they still are that little indie band from Orlando that saved us from N*SYNC and The Backstreet Boys. This following vid is for a song that was originally released on their sophomore album and was re recorded in all of its mainstream label glory for their latest album.



As sit here wishing I was able to go to Orlando for Anberlins last tour date this year, but sadly I am unable because of time and money constraints. SO I leave you with this fellow readers: I will make an Anberlin video and post it right here for all to enjoy!!!!!



p.s. 190 days till the most joyous day of my life!!!
