Next Friday (March 17), ANBERLIN will debut their new video for “Paperthin Hymn” exclusively for one week via MySpace.com. Directed by Chris Sims (As I Lay Dying, Emanuel, Coachella-art direction for the film), the performance-based video depicts a somber love story set entirely in a hospital. The band–which currently has nearly 1 million plays on the site–will be featured prominently on the front page of MySpace.com as well as the music video homepage. Click on http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music to watch the video.

ANBERLIN’s second full-length offering NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL–which has surpassed sales of over 100,000 copies on Seattle’s Tooth & Nail–is continuing to breakthrough at radio and is currently #38 on the Alternative Chart as the third most added for debut week. The Orlando, FL 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”–was third most added for debut week and is currently #38 on the Alternative Chart.

ANBERLIN–STEPHEN CHRISTIAN (vocals), JOSEPH MILLIGAN (guitar), DEON REXROAT (bass), NATHAN STRAYER (guitar) and NATHAN YOUNG (drums)– are gearing up to perform a special SXSW show at Redrum Annex on March 16 before heading out on the Tooth & Nail Records tour. The band will co-headline the nationwide Tooth and Nail trek with label-mates Emery, The Classic Crime, Jonezetta, Far-Less and The Fold supporting. Look for the shows to hit Los Angeles on March 25 at the Henry Fonda Theater and New York on April 13 at The Avalon.
