"...with a loose 60s punk heavy this is some good party music...these guys aren´t from bad stock." - Christian Ötte (Ötte Radio Show/Germany) www.feierverbot.de

"With exciting melodious mid-tempo punkrock and anthem-like choruses, the band lives up to its diagnose Above all, the strength and clarity of the production is first-class which is very seldom with such a new and fresh band. Along with three English songs you find Gestern, a song sung in German which was inspired after a meeting with the TOTEN HOSEN, whose influence is not difficult to recognize. Still, I really like it and I´d say this should be able to find a label real quick." - Joachim Hiller (OX-Fanzine/Germany) www.ox-fanzine.de)


By fusing addictive melodies and raw aggression, The Anthems effectively bridge the gap between punk and rock. The Anthems were born out of an intense desire to jam, nothing more. It was never anyone's intent to start a band, it just sort of happened. As Chris, the lead guitarist puts it, "we just wanted to write and play songs that we would like to hear."
In the summer of 2004, The Anthems attacked full force, touring their native Southern California coast. The rock quartet was met with adoration and enthusiasm by fans who loved the band's distinctively festive atmosphere. Wanting to capture the energy of their shows, the band set out to record.
The Anthems first release, entitled Demo, was recorded live at The Compound recording studio in Long Beach and mastered at Capitol Records in Hollywood. The four tracks on the CD are representative of the band's diversity and consistency. What does the CD sound like? Well, according to The Anthems, it's a sound somewhere between genius and ignorance.
