Texas has been known to breed some of the loudest and hard-rocking" bands on the planet and this gang of five is definitely no exception. Straight out of the saloons and strip clubs comes ANCHORED, a hard-edged rock unit that packs as much pop as their punch with their infectious brand of "Texas Rock". Crossing the tainted lines between Shinedown, Nickelback and Stone Temple Pilots, these Dallas transplants have brought their southern noise to the masses in 2010-11 and everybody was invited. ANCHORED formed in the spring of 2009 as a new project by ex- Advent singer Brandan Narrell after a chance meeting with guitarist B.G. Simpson (formally of South Florida alternative rockers Waking Season). Joining the tandem is drummeratty Clark (formaly of the Sacramento, CA band Bidwell), and ex-venture guitarist Joel Estes rounding out the quintet.
