Artist History Born in the summer of 2002, Anthem was created by a few young, yet experienced musicians to fulfill their need to create music. Concentration combined with a one track mind engulfed Anthem, driving them into a garage in Ravenna, Ohio to find a sound which would define their true nature, soon becoming the normal routine for these young aspiring musicians. After spending months of precious time preparing and rehearsing their collectively arranged musical ideas, these five young men were ready to hit the scene.
