Anberlin

Anberlin is an alternative rock band comprised of Christian members formed in 2002. Even though their debut album, Blueprints for the Black Market, was released barely a year after the band formed, Anberlin were already amassing a dedicated fan-base through steady touring with other bands on their label, Tooth & Nail Records and promotion via their myspace. Lead singer Stephen Christian stated in an interview that the band's name "Anberlin" was created when he was thinking about cities in Europe he wanted to visit. In his mind he listed "London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin". Stephen thought that "And Berlin" would be a cool name for a band and so when the band was looking for a name Stephen suggested "And Berlin", which was then modified to "Anberlin". Anberlin released an exclusive download on PureVolume on 04 September 2006 of their song A Day Late done in an acoustic version, during Tooth and Nail's New Music Release week on Tooth and Nail's PureVolume, MySpace and their website.
