Pop Group Anthem Lights To Release Self-Titled Debut Album
Innovative pop foursome Anthem Lights will release their infectiously melodic self-titled debut album on 10th May 2011. Produced by Juan Otero and Seth Moseley, known as The Write Brothers (Newsboys, Me in Motion), and Rob Hawkins (Fireflight, Chasen), the 10-song album carries a message of hope and purpose for believers and non-believers alike.
Anthem Lights can trace the group's formation back to the fall of 2007, when singer/songwriter Alan Powell joined forces with then aspiring solo artist Chad Graham. Both were living in Los Angeles to pen songs for Graham's solo effort. But providentially, it became clear that these powerful, harmonic songs were meant for a group. Within a matter of days, the pieces fell into place, when students Caleb Grimm and Kyle Kupecky came on board.
Powell notes, "We were intentional on being more than just another pop group. We understood our calling - that we were meant to be more than 'music business'. We were called to share the Light we've been given. To build people up. To lead the way. We wanted it to sound big, textured, layered, to give you that feeling of being swept away, and to really connect with pop music fans. But we wanted it to have an edge too. Live instrumentation is important to us as a group, so we wanted to keep that authenticity and accessibility... incredible keys, real guitars and real drums. With those barometers, we were confident in our producers and their great musical sensibilities."
Anthem Lights recently joined with MercyMe, Jars of Clay, The Afters, Matt Maher and others on the Rock & Worship Roadshow Tour. They are currently in the middle of performing 25 dates with Building 429 and Revive, before kicking off a summer schedule packed with performances at 16 summer festivals.
