ANCHOR
ANCHOR is: Claes, Mattias, Ulf, Fredrik, Carl-Johan
Anchor started out in 2007 with the intention to be a vegan straight edge touring machine, and while that is still the case, the band has come to mean so much more. Anchor is an outlet for frustration, personal struggle, firm convictions and deeply rooted DIY ethics. For the five individuals in the band, Anchor is the outcome of their collective creative mind and serves its purpose as an essential part of their individual lives, as well as hopefully influencing and inspiring others.
Anchor’s work ethics are impeccable. The band has done countless European tours, two tours of North America and all in all about 300 shows in less than four years. With members who have previously spent time in bands with heavy tour schedules, one of Anchor’s main goals is to keep this pace, while spreading a message of compassion and awareness. Even though the band is spread out all over Sweden and Norway, Anchor keeps proving to be one of Europe’s most active bands.
In a way, 2011 marks a fresh start for Anchor with a new line-up and the new full length “RECOVERY”, and there are no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
