I Anthem

With the release of the first LP, "West of Homeland," I Anthem is already finding a pulse in rock audiences and radio with their Billboard top 10 single Enemy and top 15 single Fighting Gravity. "This record is special to us because we have always dreamed of making a full-length that we felt had no filler tracks. So, the opportunity to make a full record that was completely funded by our fans is a huge honor and dream come true," frontman, Tyler Edwards said. Since founding members Edwards and drummer, Tyler Bodkins, began in 2009, the South Carolina based rock band has stayed true to pursuing that vision with heavy touring of the East Coast and the release of two EPs “The Things Our Eye’s Can’t See,” (2010) and “Not Afraid Not Alone,” (2011). The newest record reveals that the rock band has found their true sound through a cohesive and powerful combination of overdriven guitars, infectious melodies, and relentless grooves. A theme of hope resounds throughout the record in lyrics that empower dreaming and fighting for more. "I have always wondered why we force ourselves to suppress our ability and desire to dream as life progresses." Edwards remarked, "What is it that steals the enchantment and thrill of our youth?" The band has never shied away from using music as an open door to conversations about hope, faith, love, and doubt. "We want our music to be an encouragement and to help somebody," lead guitarist, Nick Webb stated. I Anthem continues to be transparent in their music and lyrics, and honest music will always find a way to give a voice to those who can not find the words to speak.
