Sprung from, and deeply engaged in the independent music community as well as the anarchist and animal liberation-movement of Gothenburg, here's Sweden's new hope; ANCHOR!
Rising from the ruins of sadly missed bands such as DAMAGE CONTROL
and SET MY PATH.
Formed, not only to entertain but also to provoke critical thought and inspire action ANCHOR threw themselves into the fray on a 16 day parade through northern europe with Germany's finest, RITUAL only two months after the bands birth.
The music we make can be seen as a natural extension of how all of us are activists in one sense or the other. Be it through playing music, doing fanzines, promoting shows or getting active in local political groups.
ANCHOR's first release, a mcd/7" entitled "Captivity songs" manifests a band with an alarming need, to not only be creative and scream and shout but more importantly also to reach out and communicate ideas and feelings in an adequate way. We feel that very few bands care to do this.
All of this together makes ANCHOR a band to be reckoned with for a long time in the future. Reinstate your hearts!
