The Florida band built a catalog of melodic rock songs that connected with fans who called themselves the Anberlin Army.
For a sense of their sound, 'Paperthin Hymn' and 'Adelaide' frame what they did well. Both have that melodic urgency that defined their best moments.
Their 2005 album 'Never Take Friendship Personal' brought them wider attention, particularly with the single 'Paperthin Hymn' getting regular radio play. Beyond that track, their catalog includes songs like 'Adelaide' and 'The Feel Good Drag' that kept their sound in rotation. They put out their final studio album 'Lowborn' in 2014.
Anberlin formed in Winter Haven, Florida in 2002 with Stephen Christian on vocals. Their 2005 album 'Never Take Friendship Personal' brought them wider attention, and they kept recording through lineup changes, releasing albums like 'New Surrender' in 2008 and 'Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place' in 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
