Louder Than The Music

Pop group Anthem Lights released their infectiously melodic self-titled debut album this week. 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 is available now from the US iTunes store and at IntegrityEurope.

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."
