Lo and behold, a couple of years later, here we are. Q: When did you make the decision that this band is just not going to work anymore? A: I was in London, England, sitting at the O2 arena. It was the 13th of October. But I was just miserable out of my mind. The passion for music was gone. More than guilt or shame, I felt fake. I felt like, here I was about to go onstage, and I had to put on an act. I wanted to think it through.
We need to have an adult conversation. We all came to the conclusion together. I think they all knew it. Q: Does that take the pressure off? A: We worked ourselves to the absolute bone. A new version of Last. Their debut album, Blueprints for the Black Market , was quite successful. Spurred on by popular singles Readyfuels and Change the World , it sold over 60, copies and raised Anberlin's profile.
The album was praised by critics, garnering favourable reviews and winning the band new fans. Prior to its release, the band promoted the album by releasing a track per week on their Purevolume and Myspace website accounts, as well as on their own website.
Both have been quite successful on alternative rock radio. Anberlin's third album, Cities , was released on Feburary 20, There are two different versions: a regular version and a special edition containing three extra songs and a documentary on DVD. The singles Godspeed and The Haunting were available as of December 28, from the iTunes music store and may still be purchased. It features many of its original hits, as well as live recordings and unreleased tracks. While Thom Yorke is singing try to say I always thought the background noise sounded like Anberlin , I always thought that Anberlin would have been a great band name and well Further adding to the mystery, in a recent Podcast with Alternative Press Magazine 29 , it was revealed that there is actually no story behind the name Anberlin, when the band sat down to think of names, 'Anberlin' just came to lead singer Stephen, and it was decided that would be the band name until they could think of something better.
Over the years, many fans, critics, and other members of the media have consistently characterized Anberlin as a Christian band. I don't care who listens to our records. If it helps people in whatever circumstances they're in, that's amazing, but I definitely don't classify us as a Christian band.
Despite these statements and others of the like, multiple sources list the band as part of the Christian rock genre, and some Anberlin song lyrics do contain religious references. Christian submitted a letter to the magazine, criticizing the avowedly Christian punk band the Knights of the New Crusade for a promotional image that represented a "black mark on the face of Christianity". Christian has also said in an interview with Lightforce radio how the band tries to "step out of the bubble" and referred to themselves as being part of Christian music.
He discussed in detail what Christians should do in their lives: love and embrace others as Jesus would as well as show God's grace to others. He mentioned as well how the band Fall Out Boy said in an interview that they did not really know much about Jesus until Anberlin toured with them. In an interview with Smartpunk, drummer Nathan Young commented, "The thing is, some bands that are trying to get out of the Christian market, they get bummed out by questions about it.
In a recent podcast with Alternative Press , Stephen Christian commented that the album is done and will hopefully be released after he has finished on the New Surrender tour.
