That to me is the biggest rush, the biggest adrenalin rush, some of the greatest memories and moments of playing in a band ever is just those few moments of being absolutely connected to the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anberlin are a band we could almost claim as our own here in Australia, and if they had it their way they\u2019d happily take that. With nine visits to our shores over their career and some special moments shared on these trips they just keep coming back for more and are welcomed every time with open arms and vocal chords. Heading back for their tenth visit they couldn\u2019t be more excited.<\/p>\n<p>We chatted to Anberlin front man Stephen Christian about the bands love of Australia as well as the prospect of new material, why their fans are so important to them and more\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re heading back to see us this September, after your &#8216;Night with Anberlin&#8217;, what can we expect this time around?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we have not done anything in Australia since our \u2018Evening With\u2026\u2019 which was quite some time ago, about a year and a half ago and usually we come once or twice a year. First off you can be absolutely excited because it\u2019s about time we head back, this will be the first time touring on our new record \u2018Vital\u2019 in Australia, and on top of that we\u2019re going to bring a band called \u2018The Maine\u2019 from The States, they\u2019re really big, they\u2019re a really great band so we\u2019re really excited to be able to hang out with those guys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re also bringing along William Beckett, have you played with him before as well?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah, we actually brought his band The Academy Is\u2026\u00a0 to Australia about three and a half years ago, so we\u2019ve been friends with him for a while and we\u2019re excited to have him back on foreign shores and to be hanging out with that guy every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You mentioned your last trip here for a &#8216;Night with Anberlin&#8217; tour was almost two years ago, now that is a long time between drinks for you and us, what took so long? Were you mad at us?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is, so what happened was we had a tour booked and it fell through and our manager was trying to scramble and get us a different tour, but instead we said why don\u2019t we take our time and play a proper tour, we didn\u2019t want it to be hap hazard we wanted it to be special and to be big and be at the right time and this was the right time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I could be wrong, but is this your ninth visit here?\u00a0 Just what is it that keeps you coming back?<\/strong><br \/>\nNope, tenth\u2026 man it\u2019s the crowds, literally it\u2019s the people there, we were talking the other day and said if the band ever ends in five or ten years or whatever, we talked about even our last tour ever being in Australia, that\u2019s how much we love it. We fell in love with the country, we fell in love with the people, and the shows have just always been exciting every time we come back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think it is about the combination of Anberlin and Australia that works so well together?<\/strong><br \/>\nI mean honestly we\u2019ve talked a lot about this in the band, we don\u2019t know\u2026 I think it was one of those things where Anberlin was kind of one of the first indie rock bands to hit foreign shores and that kind of gave us an edge up on some of the other bands. Then soundwave really helped, the fact that we\u2019ve played there a few times and people really grabbed onto us from there. Radio stations and all of that just kind of adds up for us to keep coming back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Being here so many times are you going to start buying property, is that the next step?<\/strong><br \/>\nI hope so, I\u2019m hoping I get there and somebody gives me a property and I\u2019m just going to move there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what\u2019s your favourite place to go to here?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s a few, you guys have glorious food there, honestly some of my favourite restaurants are there, but I think I couldn\u2019t decide between a city and I don\u2019t want to play any favourites between cities, but I\u2019ll just say I love it all. Any chance I can be in a city near a beach, which is literally every city in Australia I love it. It reminds us a lot of Florida where we\u2019re from as well but cleaner. *laughs*<\/p>\n<p><strong>Being here so many times, do you have a stand out memory of Australia you can share with us?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell I do have a funny memory of actually the last time we were there, we were boarding a plane and this lady got on and she was sitting at the back of the plane, we were all at the back of the plane, we don\u2019t fly first class, we\u2019re not that big *laughs* and I heard her go \u2018Oh no, my daughter just called me and said Anberlin is on this plane on the flight, I wonder who she is? She must be up front in first class\u2026\u2019 and the whole flight she is talking about this woman that must be on the flight and the whole time someone kept pointing to us and saying \u2018well I think that\u2019s them right there\u2019 and she said \u2018oh no, that\u2019s probably just her crew\u2026\u2019 *laughs* it was so funny, we just heard her say the whole flight that she can\u2019t wait to meet this woman Anberlin but we were sitting right next to her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve seen you live before, and the energy definitely shines through on stage, what is it about playing live that you enjoy?<\/strong><br \/>\nThat\u2019s it\u2026 my favourite moments are the moments when I\u2019m in the crowd, on top of the crowd and they\u2019re just screaming along with me every word of the song. That to me is the biggest rush, the biggest adrenalin rush, some of the greatest memories and moments of playing in a band ever is just those few moments of being absolutely connected to the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You were here last with the \u2018Evening With\u2026\u2019, so how did you balance that compared to what you normally do with the intensity and energy?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we wanted to make it special, we wanted to make it special for Australia, like I said, this will be out tenth time, but that was our ninth and so we didn\u2019t want to be boring or bland like \u2018oh\u2026 Anberlin\u2019s back again\u2026\u2019 and like I said to the crowds in Australia, we will probably never do this again, and honestly we won\u2019t, we will never do that again, that was a once in a lifetime tour opportunity. For us as musicians it was awesome, because we got to play so many more songs than we usually play in a set and so many acoustic songs and translate them in different ways and show Australia that we\u2019re not lying, we love Australia and so to be able to play a show like that or bring a band like The Maine, or something like that t show Australia that they\u2019re important to us goes a long way and shows people still care about us and we\u2019re coming back for our tenth time and people are still coming to the shows and that we love so much.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Anberlin-tour.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-16736\" title=\"Anberlin tour\" src=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Anberlin-tour-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Anberlin-tour-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Anberlin-tour.jpg 567w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a>You seem to be one of the most accessible bands in relation to your fans at shows, why is that so important to you as a band?<\/strong><br \/>\nBecause we don\u2019t believe in \u2018Rock Stars\u2019 we don\u2019t believe that we\u2019re more important or we\u2019re better or we\u2019re any more special than anyone else so we want there to be as little as a chasm between us and our fans as possible, and if that takes doing meet and greets or acoustic performances at local record stores or whatever it takes to feel like these guys aren\u2019t rock stars or they\u2019re hiding behind their tour bus or whatever the case may be. That\u2019s kind of like a persona that we like to exude, that we\u2019re not better than anyone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have to say that Vital is such a great album, it felt like it was in fact &#8216;vital&#8217; for you guys to make it and there was so much energy throughout. Was that something you aimed for when making it?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah I think in a few ways, we definitely felt like this one needed to be more energetic, we sat down and talked about the fact that some of our favourite moments of playing live was those brutally energetic moments, so why not make a record in which we would want to play the whole thing through in a live set, I think that had something to do with it. Also I had just got done recording a Anchor &amp; Braille record which is a lot slower, they\u2019re very much on the slower end of the spectrum so I think everything inside me was ready to play and ready to record something with a lot more vigour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s one heck of a rock record too, did you set out to intentionally make some of the tracks so heavy for you guys?<\/strong><br \/>\nAbsolutely, I think that was Christian and Joey\u2019s mastermind in trying to create a deeper, heavier more brutal sound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s been out for around nine months now, have you already been writing for a new album?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah, we\u2019re always writing, we\u2019re perpetually writing, so it doesn\u2019t matter if we\u2019re in the studio or touring on the record or if the record\u2019s been out for a year, either way we are always constantly writing. It doesn\u2019t negate the fact that we believe in \u2018Vital\u2019 we\u2019re still going to push another single here shortly, we\u2019re going to be creating another video, we\u2019re going to be doing some more tours on it, so we\u2019re going to be doing a lot more to promote it, but we\u2019re still writing. I think in 2014 we\u2019ll definitely see a new record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have to ask as you do have Adelaide, so let\u2019s just say you were going to write a song about another place in Australia, where would it be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think it would have to be probably Sydney because Perth just doesn\u2019t have a ring to it you know? *laughs* Perth is a very hard name of a city to add it to a song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yeah, very hard to rhyme with\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nUm\u2026 worth, that\u2019s about it\u2026 \u2018I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re worth, you remind me a lot of Perth\u2026\u2019 that\u2019s about it, I have no idea, that doesn\u2019t even make sense. *laughs*<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does the rest of 2013 have in store for Anberlin?<\/strong><br \/>\nSo right after Australia we\u2019re going to be doing a headline tour in the United States and then we\u2019re going to be heading out the UK and Europe, so it will be a lot of fun, I\u2019m really looking forward to this fall, a lot of travelling, but a lot of good times with some really good bands. Then perhaps December play some radio shows, but really concentrate a lot on writing, then December \/ January hopefully record a record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then we\u2019ll see you back here in maybe February?<\/strong><br \/>\nI sure hope so\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Essential Information<\/span><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>From:<\/strong> Florida, USA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Band members: \u00a0<\/strong>Stephen Christian &#8211; Vocals, Guitar, Deon Rexroat \u2013 Bass, Joseph Milligan \u2013 Guitar, Nathan Young \u2013 Drums, Christian McAlhaney &#8211; Guitar<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anberlin.com\/\">http:\/\/www.anberlin.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Current release:<\/strong> Vital (Universal Music Australia) \u2013 Check out our review <a href=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/2012\/10\/anberlin-vital\/\">HERE <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Catch <\/strong><strong>Anberlin<\/strong><strong> on tour in Australia this <\/strong><strong>September with The Maine and William Beckett<\/strong><strong>:<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><strong>Wednesday 4 September \u2013 The HiFi, Brisbane \u2013 18+<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehifi.com.au\">thehifi.com.au<\/a>\u00a0or 1300 843 443<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday 5 September \u2013 The Coolangatta Hotel, Gold Coast \u2013 18+<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.destroyalllines.oztix.com.au\">destroyalllines.oztix.com.au<\/a>\u00a0or 1300 438 849<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday 6 September \u2013 Panthers, Newcastle \u2013 Lic AA<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.destroyalllines.oztix.com.au\">destroyalllines.oztix.com.au<\/a>, Moshtix outlets, The Venue or\u00a002 4926 620<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday 7 September \u2013 The Hifi, Sydney &#8211;\u00a0Lic AA<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehifi.com.au\">thehifi.com.au<\/a>\u00a0or 1300 843 443<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday 8 September \u2013 The Palace, Melbourne \u2013 18+<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.destroyalllines.oztix.com.au\">destroyalllines.oztix.com.au<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.Ticketek.com.au\">Ticketek.com.au<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a013 28 49<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday 10 September June \u2013 The Gov, Adelaide \u2013 Lic AA<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moshtix.com.au\">moshtix.com.au<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.venuetix.com.au\">venuetix.com.au<\/a>, The Venue or\u00a08340 0744<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday 11 September \u2013 Metro, Fremantle \u2013 18+<\/strong><br \/>\nTickets from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.destroyalllines.oztix.com.au\">destroyalllines.oztix.com.au<\/a>,\u00a0Heatseeker outlets or\u00a01300 762 545<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMy favourite moments are the moments when I\u2019m in the crowd, on top of the crowd and they\u2019re just screaming along with me every word of the song.
