Anchor Down

With a sound that could fill the Columbia Gorge, Anchor Down from Portland, Oregon is making a huge statement in that city's music scene. To hell with Greg Oden, Anchor Down is the next big thing splashing down in the city of roses. This dynamic foursome describes themselves as punk and rock, which I would like to qualify with the added description – ass kicking rock. Pelting listeners with chunky guitar and rhythm, their music is intoxicating.

And well, you have got to like any band that can pull great recommendations from great looking women…many thanks to Kirsten and Christi from Sacto for turning me onto these guys. Anchor Down has one of the first rules of rock n' roll down solid – where the women go, men will follow. If this band keeps it up, the will soon be filling clubs with throngs of both.

Of the the songs Anchor Down has posted at www.myspace.com/anchordownportland I would have to choose "El Radio" as my odds-on favorite. The song has just enough uniqueness to get noticed and break through – it is like something from Iggy Pop and the Stooges with a 2008 flair; a perfect blend of rebellion and melody.

So all you kiddies out their…keep tabs on Anchor Down and hit them up and add them to your growing friends - a) you won't regret it and b) as the Quaker Oaks guy says, "It's the right thing to do".

Peace,

"Out of Portland, Oregon sails a more fiery version of Anchor Down; swilling beer, belting out anthemic punk rock cannon fire as they bear down on your city, and providing a fresh outtake on the rigors of DIY culture - touring, self made albums, record label dysfunction, and the quest to see all the hard work come together in the end."
