With albums like Cities and New Surrender, they are making a huge leap in the world of music. More and more people are starting to listen to them and your almost bound to know who they are. On their CD, Just surrender, there is one song that is a big hit, Breaking. Other great songs are Glass to the Arson, Godspeed and Feel Good Drag.
Stephen Christian grew up in a musical background. They didn’t listen to much music, but he says when he was a kid he felt the rush of doing what he does. But he also says that years ago when he first started playing music, he could have never imagined going this far in his music.
Being in such a popular band means lots of tours to go on. Stephen mentioned that once because of all the touring he felt like he was in a daze. He just sat in the tour bus and stared at the seat in front of him for hours. Sometimes the touring gets to them, but mostly it doesn’t since they love it so much and love what they do! Stephen also mentions that he trys to read a book every single week that he’s on tour to keep his eyes off the TV screen. They also have a PlayStation 2, a DVD player, a CD player, and a VCR when things start to get really boring. They’ve also had some really interesting times while on tour.” One of the worst nights is when we had to stay in an abandoned house and kept warm by turning on the stove and sleeping right next to it! Some of the best times were just hanging out with some of the guys in the other bands we were touring with.”
The band members are down to earth and are definitely not divas. They appreciate every single fan , every interview they take, and every single tour they go on. But how did Anberlin get their name? Stephen says this: “While listing the places in Europe I hope to backpack in the future I said “Madrid, London, Rome, and Berlin. After I said it I was thinking how one day I would like to name a band and Berlin, shortening it I came up with ANBERLIN.”
So listen to them if you want to listen to some really good christian rock music!
Or go see them in concert if you want to go to a good show!
