ANBERLIN
ANNOUNCE WINTER TOUR WITH HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS FOR FEBRUARY
WHILE IN MIDST OF SOLD-OUT HEADLINING AUSTRALIAN TREK;
‘NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL’ ALBUM HAS SURPASSED SALES OF OVER 85,000 COPIES AS “PAPERTHIN HYMN” SINGLE IMPACTS RADIO;
BAND CONFIRMED TO CO-HEADLINE TOOTH & NAIL TOUR IN MARCH AND
PERFORM SXSW SHOW MARCH 16 AT REDRUM ANNEX
“Driving, retro-futuristic power pop…” praised Alternative Press (3/05) of ANBERLIN, whose second full-length NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL has surpassed sales of over 85,000 copies on Seattle’s Tooth & Nail. Now in the midst of a sold-out headlining Australian trek, ANBERLIN have announced they’ll join Hawthorne Heights for a February run. On March 16, the band will perform a special SXSW show at Redrum Annex before co-headlining the Tooth & Nail Records tour with label-mates Emery; The Classic Crime, Jonezetta, Far-Less and The Fold supporting. The coast-to-coast Tooth & Nail tour will hit Los Angeles March 25 at the Henry Fonda Theater and New York April 13 at The Avalon (see itinerary below and more dates will be announced soon).
The Florida band’s new single “Paperthin Hymn”–which All Music Guide hailed as "one of the prettiest slabs of guitar rock released in the last ten years” (3/05)–is buzzing at radio with 25 adds in just two weeks. Elsewhere, HM Magazine said NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL offers “plentitude of hooks coupled with bright power pop textures and intermittent rocky danceability…”(6/05). Other standout songs “Stationary Stationery,” “The Runaways” and the title track highlight the band’s melodic guitar-driven anthems.
Known for their frenetic and undeniably infectious live shows, the band–STEPHEN CHRISTIAN (vocals), JOSEPH MILLIGAN (guitar), DEON REXROAT (bass), NATHAN STRAYER (guitar) and NATHAN YOUNG (drums)–enlisted Aaron Sprinkle (Pedro The Lion, MxPx) to produce and capture their live sound. Frontman CHRISTIAN explains, “This album is more raw, honest and hyperactive. Our goal was to come out with an album we’re confident in and show our audience what they can expect live.”
Stay tuned for more touring news from a band that has shared the stage with My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, The Starting Line, Sugarcult, The Early November, Story Of The Year, Lostprophets and Relient K, to name a few.
