Anthill - Waiting for the Sun - Description:
Anthill is an eclectic band that draws its influence from 90’s British pop, Power Pop and Wilco-esque alt-country. Anthill was formed in 1998 and released its first album in the same year. The first single was a heavy rock song called "Child of Ambition". It received airplay on several Canadian rock radio stations. Several incarnations and nervous breakdowns later Anthill turned into more of a pop band. 2004's release "Ascending" received critical acclaim and was a turning point for the band ("This is a smart, self contained album 4 1/2 stars out of 5" Vancouver Sun). After a year of playing shows Anthill went back into the studio to record its third album "Waiting For the Sun". This was yet another eclectic album with introspective pop songs. This album was described as Steve Earle meets The Police. In February 2006 Anthill won Best International Band at the Southern California Music Awards. Its song "Pastel Rain" was considered for top song honours by the judges, but was not eligible as the band was not from Southern California. Shortly after, Anthill was announced to be Runners Up in the "We Are Listening" 2005 Singer Songwriter Awards for their song "Avenue". Anthill was recently announced to be playing on Thursday April 27 at Limerick Junction (The old Brickyard) as part of the 2006 New Music West showcase. Plans for an official release of "Waiting For the Sun" are under way and will happen on June 8, 2006 at The Media Club in Vancouver. Waiting For the Sun just got an A- by respected Music Writer Tom Harrison of the Vancouver Province. Influences: Oasis, Stereophonics, Wilco and The Cars.
