Anthem; as defined by Zero Magazine, is as follows;
” A High Energy Rock Experience”;
A California Rock band tried and true, Anthem has quickly become one of the most talked about bands on the west coast. The Baleco Times states that “Anthem seems to be taking over the world one stage at a time”. “We wanna be the first band on the moon” confesses one lead singer-guitarist Terry Coleman. Anthem is being referred to as “The Rock Revolution” by countless magazines, newspapers and critics alike. Call it Rock, Sunshine Pop, Power Pop Alternative, Reggae-Rah or Gangster Rock…..call it what you will, they have a sound and look all their own. The Anthem sound was founded by the likes of Brit-Irish Terry Coleman on lead guitar-lead vocals, with Big John Sexy Montes on the bass and vocals, and the hypno-grooves of Junior Cantu IV on percussion and vocals.... Anthem’s sole existance is to ”Bring Back The Rock”. The thousands who have witnessed the Anthem spectacle often compares them to a contemporary Beatles-Zeppelin-Nirvana with the dazziling stage presence comparable to the likes of an early Who or Hendrix.
Anthem’s explosive high octane live performance has become one of west coasts’ “must see” live events. They have already shared the stage with over fifteen national touring acts including Dishwalla,, Avril Lavign, The Calling, Gin Blossoms, Remy Zero, Collective Soul, Hootie and The Blowfish, Hawthorne Heights, Drowning Pool to name a few, and have performed in front of thousands across the U.S. and on national radio. Jim Phillips from the San Francisco Chronicle writes that "Coleman whips the crowd into a frenzied excitement with each blistering riff. Playing behind his back, through his knees, and with his tongue, the performance left the crowd screaming for more." They've been nominated and have won countless awards and battle of the band contests’ nationwide. Anthem has a worldwide following and has landed close to 300,000 myspace plays, with countless T.V. appearances including Good Morning Sacramento and Music On Demand, and they have a song set to be featured in an upcoming film titled “Bloodstone” from Arcadian Entertainment. Their second critically acclaimed full length release was produced by Michael Klooster from the band Smash Mouth. Michael Klooster calls the group “A hard working, straight forward, hard hitting mega-trio that is dangerously good”. Their latest release “Year of The Dragon” has garnered rave reviews stretching as far as the U.K. and Italy. The British Metro Daily calls the latest release “highly inventive”, and the founder of “Waterstock” Michael Waterman calls Anthem “The American Zeppelin”. Anthem, as a Pure, True Rock entity, could perhaps be destined to be the next great Rock band that saves and redefines popular music as we know it. Hello world, ……Meet Anthem (pronounced Anthum) . Writer John McFarlane from Everyday Variety raves that “With an embracing and infectious sound that will haunt you while it stalks the perpetual tight rope of sheer inventive contemporary music; and if Anthem has their way, Rock, well, ….music in general, will never be the same again”.

New album "PUNTO LUCE" out now!!! After their great debut release "Fantasia Meccanica", the italian act HIDDEN PLACE return with an all new and long-expected album! "PUNTO LUCE" continues along the same pathtraced by its predecessor. Deep sonorities are alternated with moments of emotionalism and refinement, underlined above all by more atmospheric sounds, that constantly influence this album. Harmonious female vocals from the beautiful singer Sara Lux are opposed with the cold tones of the vocoder. An elegant mix of electro and new wave give a precise evocation of art, of the painting of a picture, of the beauty of colours and light. The album also features vocal and mixing contributions from Gaby Nekro of NEKRODAMUS.
