After performing many hundreds of gigs , touring, festivals and writing and recording,together this highly talented group comprising of members, Judd Robertson, Nick Barnett, Leigh Sutherland and Chris Barnett evolved the rocking band Anaham into one of New Zealand's very exciting and explosive rock acts.They are loved by there fans and rock music lovers.With their full on stage performance and trademark songs such as 'Stone Trippin', with its earth shaking guitar riffs and relentless double kicking, through anthem ballads like 'Lost In Time', and deep emotional 'Adrift'.With the very talented Judd Robertson and Chris Barnett writing most of the music and lyrics for Anaham , while all four members work closely together to evolve the arrangement and detail structure while playing together in the studio.This music has lead to rave reviews of their live shows nationwide,along with a five star album review in Rip It Up magazine, dubbed as the 'next big thing'.Below.....................

The EP 'Adrift' was recorded at the York St Music Studios in Auckland ,New Zealand. Anaham are really very pleased with the results of our latest York St sessions.

Review,Lyndon Walker-Rip It Up Mag"

From Mahana in Nelson. I would be so bold as to say Anaham are the next big thing. Many New Zealand Bands tend to be on the quirky side, often low budget and relying on some sort of novelty factor. Bizzarely, Anaham are something of a rarity,a no-nonsense, professional sounding mainstream rock band.Everything from strong vocals to the superb sound quality to the most professional press kit I have ever seen show that this group means business.The band is equally adept at a heavy song like "'Deep Within',with its thumping kick drum or the lighter songs, such as the Chilli Pepper-esque intro to the single,'Adrift'.They will be mainstream for some of the alternative music community, but I expect these guys to be the next big thing ".(Five stars)

Real Groove Music Mag. Reviewer Gavin Bertram.

The Accomplished arrangement and delivery sets these guys apart from the majority of their competition in the hard rock leagues. Bands without exception will tell you they're something special. Anaham don't need to do that -THEY JUST ARE !. While Blindspott have had the weight of the industry resources behind them ,Anaham have battled through pretty much on their own.With the amount of time and energy they've put into this release , one can only hope they achieve some of the success they richly deserve.

Guardian Newspaper. H.C. Lee.

"The high octane, powerhouse band Anaham is blessed with not only four great musicians but great song writers as well.They are a group musicians who are very close life long friends. They have played music in a number of bands together since they of 10 years of age . As DC5 the were "discovered" busking in Nelson by Philipp Jaser (The Managers) before they went on to play on the same bill at a festival with Salmonella Dub and The Feelers, South Side of Bombay,and many other great bands and festivals since.The crowds loved these guys ....so young and talented ...they were always crowd pleasers , especially with other bands. Now through hard work and dedication they have honed their music and there performing skills as Rock band Anaham. When they are on stage , the crowd that come to watch are given a mighty nights entertainment as I found out. Anaham's music on this EP Adrift is melodic, hard edged, honest and very professional, while on stage their performance fantastic, the crowd loved every pumping minute. They are like the organic apples that you find at the top of the tree that sweeten ,sun ripen,natural and fresh.Watching them left me in no doubt Anaham are a quality band , they really are the pick of the bunch. As Taj one of the crowd said," they are the best, I want more Anaham, everyone wants more, bring it on Anaham Yeah !" I have to agree with her".
