History

edit

SaGoh 24/7 and the origins of Anberlin (1998–2002)

edit

Lead singer Stephen Christian met bassist Deon Rexroat while they were both in high school, and they formed apunkband called SaGoh 24/7. Drummer Sean Hutson and guitarist Joseph Milligan joined the group as well. The band released two albums,Servants After God's Own Heart(1999), andThen I Corrupt Youth(2001), both under Rescue Records.[14]After the albums sold only 1,300 units,[15]Hutson left the band to start a family, and Nathan Young was brought in as a replacement.

Christian, Milligan and Rexroat began working on a side project, marking the beginning of the end for SaGoh 24/7. The side project's sound transformed after a suggestion from Milligan to develop more of a rock sound for Anberlin.[14]They used money left over from shows SaGoh had performed and teamed up with producer Matt Goldman to record five demos. The demos that were then posted onPureVolume(which was mp3.com at the time). On the advice of friends, including Chad Johnson, and Timmy McTague fromUnderoath,the band signed withTooth & Nail Records.[16]

Blueprints for the Black MarketandNever Take Friendship Personal(2002–2005)

edit

Out of the five demos Anberlin recorded with Matt Goldman, three were eventually chosen to be reworked for the band's debut album, the lead single "Readyfuels", "Driving" (later renamed "Autobahn" ) and "Foreign Language". Another song, "Embrace the Dead", was also recorded as a demo track and is often mistaken as an Anberlin song, however, the song didn't make it onto the band's debut album as it didn't constitute the stylistic direction the band wanted to head in.[16]

After hearing demos from the bandAcceptance,Anberlin chose to record their debut album with the same producer, Aaron Sprinkle, creating a relationship that would last the entire duration of their time with Tooth & Nail Records.[16]Barely a year after their formation, their first album as a new band was entitledBlueprints for the Black Market(2003). It failed to chart, but spurred on by their debut single, "Readyfuels", the album sold over 60,000 units.[17]They toured steadily with other bands in their label.[citation needed]

Rhythm guitarist Joey Bruce was eventually ejected from the band. According to Christian, he was "all about sex, drugs and rock & roll", and was going in a different direction than the rest of the band.[15]After several failed replacements, Nathan Strayer from The Mosaic took over rhythm guitar duties.

Anberlin released their follow-up toBlueprints,Never Take Friendship Personal,in early 2005, again produced by Aaron Sprinkle. Charting at No. 144 on theBillboard200,[7]the album brought the band closer to the mainstream.NTFPwas generally more well received by critics thanBlueprints for the Black Market.[citation needed]Before its release, the band promoted the album by releasing a track per week on theirPureVolumeandMySpacewebsite accounts, as well as on their own website. Two singles were released from the album: "A Day Late" and "Paperthin Hymn". Both were reasonably successful on alternative rock radio, with the latter peaking at the No. 38 position on theHot Modern Rock Trackschart.[18]

Anberlin participated in a number of compilations during this time, recording covers ofBob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone",Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence,"and the song"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)".[19][20]

CitiesandLost Songs(2005–2007)

Anberlin's third album produced by Aaron Sprinkle was released in early 2007 under the titleCities.It sold 34,000 copies in its first week of release, debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 chart, and, like their previous album, received fairly positive reviews from critics. Before the release ofCities,the band releasedGodspeed EPexclusively through theiTunes Storein late 2006 to give a preview to the new album. In support of the album, Anberlin held their first headlining tour, supported byBayside,Meg & DiaandJonezetta.

In an interview about the album, Christian commented that the lyrics throughout the band's discography are progressively becoming more mature. "The first CD (Blueprints for the Black Market) was childish in the manner that it was Man vs. World in the lyrics. The second (Never Take Friendship Personal) was Man Vs. Man.Citiesis more adult in the manner that it's Man Vs. Self.[21][22]Citieswas the most anticipated album on Jesus Freak Hideout's Most Anticipated Albums of 2007.[23]

Three to four weeks before the release ofCities,it was announced that guitarist Nathan Strayer amicably left the band to go back to the Mosaic and that Christian McAlhaney, formerly of the bandAcceptance,would take over as the new guitarist.[24]

Acompilation albumof unreleased material, calledLost Songs,was released on November 20, 2007. It featuresB-sides,demos,covers,andacousticversions of their previous songs as well as other tracks recorded atSessions@AOL.[25]

edit

The first song to be heard from the new album was tentatively titled "Bittersweet Memory" during its initial live performances; it was later renamed to "Breaking", with an acoustic remix of the song included on USB wristbands sold exclusively during the 2008 Warped Tour. On July 11, 2008, the band showcased a second new song called "Disappear" on theirMySpaceprofile.[26]The first actual single from the album was the re-recorded "Feel Good Drag"which was set to go to radio on August 18[27]- eventually being released on August 26.[28]

The band booked eight weeks of recording sessions with noted producer Neal Avron (New Found Glory,Yellowcard,Fall Out Boy) in early February 2008. Stephen Christian stated in an interview, "We're very excited about working with Neal; I think our fans are going to be pleased when they hear the final result."[29]Christian also discussed the difficulties in writing this record. "When you try to write 29 songs lyrically you find yourself topically working in circles; I only go through so much in one year, but needlessly I have dedicated myself to begin searching books, art, and friends for new directions."[30]During the recording process, the band set up a live webcam in the studio so fans could watch them record the album via the band's MySpace profile.New Surrenderwas placed at the No. 2 spot on Jesus Freak Hideout's 25 Most Anticipated Albums of 2008.[31]

In the week of its release, the album sold 36,000 units, entering theBillboard200 chart at No. 13.[32]It also placed at No. 5 on the Top Current Rock chart, according to a Universal Republic press release.[33]In support of the album, the band embarked on a fall headlining U.S. tour alongsideScary Kids Scaring Kids,Straylight Run,andThere For Tomorrow.Kyle Flynn, formerly of the band Acceptance, joined the band while on tour doing keys, loops, acoustic guitar, and background vocals.

Origin of name

edit

Anberlin lead vocalist Stephen Christian has stated different origins of the band's name in various interviews, prevalent among which was his claim that he had long intended to name his first daughter Anberlin. Struggling to find a name for the band, Stephen suggested it; "We were all sitting around trying to come up with a name. None of us were married or had kids, but one day I was going to name my daughter Anberlin, so I figured we could name the band that until we thought of something better. So we chose Anberlin and no one has thought of anything better."[81]He stated he was no longer going to use Anberlin to name his first daughter, however he said, "If I ever have a daughter and name her Anberlin, she'll think she was named after the band instead of the other way around."[82]Christian had also stated in another interview that the band's name was created when he was thinking about cities in Europe he wanted to visit. In his mind he listed "London, Paris, Rome, andBerlin."Christian thought that" and Berlin "would be an appropriate name for a band, and so when the band was looking for a name Christian suggested" And Berlin, "which was then modified to" Anberlin. "[83][84]

Christian has since retracted those comments admitting that when the band first started, in interviews they "would take turn making stories about how it came to be" as a joke, as he believed the actual origin of the band name wasn't interesting enough. Christian said there was a story about how his grandfather had "saved a little girl from aWorld War IIbombing... her name was Anberlin "and that they had hit a dog, which had the name Anberlin, with the stories getting more diverse, it was decided they reveal the true origin.[85]He has said the "real" name came from theRadioheadsong "Everything in Its Right Place",stating that" There are several stories that have circulated on the internet, but the actual story is when I was in college my favorite band was Radiohead; on one of their songs off the recordKid Athere is a background noise on the song "Everything in Its Right Place" (about 2 minutes 31 seconds into the song). WhileThom (Yorke)is singingtry to sayI always thought the background noise sounded likeAnberlin,I always thought that Anberlin would have been a great band name and well...it was/is. "[38][86][87]

Christianity

edit

Over the years, many fans, critics, and other members of the media have consistently characterized Anberlin as aChristianband. However, Stephen Christian stated in an interview that their faith is more complicated than a simple label: "I think we're categorized like that a lot because we're onTooth & Nail Records,which, years ago, was known as a Christian label and never lost that reputation. I don't care who listens to our records. If it helps people in whatever circumstances they're in, that's amazing, but I definitely don't classify us as a Christian band. "[81]Elsewhere, Christian has remarked, "[My faith] affects every single aspect of my life, but I'm not a preacher, I'm an entertainer."[88]

Despite these statements and others of the like, multiple sources list the band as part of the Christian rock genre, and some Anberlin song lyrics do contain Christian references. Furthermore, the band appears at Christian music festivals such asParachute Music FestivalandCornerstone Festival,and their songs have been included on Christian rock compilation CDs[89]and DVDs.[90]They are also played on theGospel Music Channel.[91]

Anberlin has also been repeatedly featured in Christian rock magazineHM(Hard Music,which was originally the fanzineHeaven's Metal). Christian submitted a letter to the magazine, criticizing the more overtly religiousChristian punkband theKnights of the New Crusadefor a promotional image that represented a "black mark on the face of Christianity".[92]

Christian has also said in an interview with Lightforce radio how the band tries to "step out of the bubble" and referred to themselves as being part of Christian music. He discussed in detail what Christians should do in their lives: love and embrace others asJesuswould as well as show God's grace to others. He mentioned as well how the bandFall Out Boysaid in an interview that they did not really know much about Jesus until Anberlin toured with them.[93]

In an interview with Smartpunk, drummer Nathan Young commented, "The thing is, some bands that are trying to get out of the Christian market, they get bummed out by questions about it. I don’t really mind it, because I’m a Christian, and I’m okay talking about it. With the whole term 'Christian Band,' I don’t understand how a band can be Christian. We get the question, 'Is Anberlin a Christian band?' and it’s like, yeah, Anberlin is — as humans".[94]
