Anarcy Club - "A Single Drop Of Red"
For Boston hard rock/ electronic duo Anarchy Club, making music is all about creating heavy, hard-hitting songs they would want to listen to themselves.
Anarchy Club’s latest release, "A Single Drop Of Red," with a street date of March 4, 2008, brings crushing guitar riffs, relentless grooves, and searing vocal melodies together into a focused, high-octane hard rock assault.
The EP gives fans five new unreleased tracks, as well as six tripped-out remixes of fan-selected favorites from their debut album, The Way And Its Power. “Collide” hits like a bullet through the heart with haunting vocals countered by an unstoppable guitar assault, while “Blood Doll” goes straight for the jugular with straight-ahead, take-no-prisoners rock fury. The title track “A Single Drop of Red”, serves up a deceptively heavy, hip-shaking drum groove with a head-banging power chorus, delivering both the calm and the storm.
Formed in the winter of 2004, Anarchy Club is the partnership of two long-time friends Keith Smith and Adam von Buhler (co-founder of the popular Castle von Buhler Records, now defunct). With a strictly D.I.Y. production ethic, they deliver their music straight from the studio (von Buhler’s living room) to the street, pure and uncut. Fueled by their addiction to Kung Fu and Asian underground cinema, video games, and classic muscle cars, as well as a wide variety of musical influences, from Rob Zombie and Dr. Dre to Chinese classical, von Buhler and Smith create the cinematic rock juggernaut that is Anarchy Club.
The duo has gathered an impressive following from the popular video game series Guitar Hero and its new recently released counterpart, Rock Band. Anarchy Club initially appeared in the first Guitar Hero with their song “Behind The Mask.” “Collide” was then featured in Guitar Hero 2, while “Blood Doll” appears in Rock Band. The latter two songs are featured on the band’s new EP, A Single Drop of Red.
Smith’s former band, C60 (a.k.a Cobalt 60), had won six Boston Music Awards (five of which were in one year), and shared stages with bands such as Kiss, Run-DMC, Linkin Park, and Rage Against the Machine. Some of their songs were also featured on TV shows such as “Dawson’s Creek” and “The Shield.” On the other hand, von Buhler has toured the country with his former band, Splashdown, and worked with legendary producer Glen Ballard. Splashdown had songs featured in the soundtracks to the films “Titan A.E.” and “Clubland,” as well as television shows (“Charmed,” “Angel”).
Anarchy Club’s steady growth as a group can be attributed to strong songs embraced by a fiercely loyal, ever-evolving fan base. With A Single Drop Of Red, Anarchy Club makes their case as a talented, heavy-hitting musical duo with unlimited potential to deliver the rock.
