GODSPEED - ANBERLIN
Now that the airwaves are rife with pop-rock bands, the stage is set for Florida’s Anberlin to make a dramatic entrance with upcoming album “Cities.” Single “Godspeed,” as its name suggests, is a fevered, headlong rush that glories in spiraling production and exhilarating chorus. Imagine spinning in delirious circles under a vast, clear sky, reveling in the dizzying velocity. The three-guitar attack of Joseph Milligan, Nathan Strayer and Stephen Christian, who handles vocals, flings you into a whirlwind, while drummer Nathan Young and bassist Deon Rexroat pound rhythm into the ground. We don’t know whether to call it post-emo or turbo-charged pop rock, but no doubt, Anberlin is in the final countdown to stardom.(Tooth & Nail Records) Billboard
