Fusing heaviness and raw aggression with dark and moody melodies, Anon has captivated audiences with their original sounds. Anon's dual vocalists sing, harmonize, and scream together; achieving a broader range than many of their contemporaries, rather than limiting each to a prescribed role. The chemistry of Anon's instrumental core drives the listener through every possible emotion.
In the spring of 2004, Anon came within a few votes of making it to the finals at the Emergenza Festival, a world wide competition held by Sony/Colombia Records. Anon also gained the sponsorship of
Dirte Jerze / Hardcore Clothing Companies; hand picked by the owner to represent his line of merchandise.
Anon won The New Jersey Battle of the Bands on August 15th 2004. Sponsored by Jerseyshows.com, this was a seven month long competition between hundreds of acts from all around the Tri-State area. As the only band in the contest's history to achieve a perfect score, Anon went undefeated through the finals, holding First Place until the bitter end.
Anon invested their winnings from the New Jersey Battle of The Bands in their first full-length CD, recorded by Brooklyn's Purple Light Studios; who has produced such acts as Candiria, E-Town Concrete, 40 Below Summer, 54 Visions, Agents of Man, and many more. The album has since dropped and singles have been featured on 89.5 FM WSOU (Seton Hall Pirate Radio), and 95.9 The WRAT.
In October of 04' Anon was nominated for Top Live Act, Top Male Vocalist, and Top Hard Act by The Asbury Music Awards, at which they were a featured performer. After an energizing performance in the Twelfth Annual Asbury Music Awards, Anon won the award for Top Live Act of the Year.
Anon has pushed and pulled their way to the top. Taking initiative to reach a larger audience, at their expense the band members have established and trademarked their own record label, Venom Records. Anon has also designed and marketed an original merchandise line. Since releasing their CD, they are coming out stronger than ever. |
