Another Anthem is a three piece punk and melodic hardcore band that was first started by Matt Holben in the summer of 2006 in the tiny town of Prospect, Oregon. Another Anthem is a band of many different musical styles; ranging from mid tempo melodic punk to fast heavy hardcore. And the subject matter of their lyrics is very much the same with lyrics encompassing a broad area of issues or subjects that are meaningful to the band. One thing you can always count on with Another Anthem is that they'll write music because they love it and nothing else. The love of music is why AA is still here and why they always will be. After numerous lineup changes the only other surviving original AA member other than Matt, is Logan Herzog. Now after five years the band has played hundreds of shows, toured part of the country, released an E.P; released their first full length album A TIME TO HONOR, and had the time of their lives along the way. In 2009 the band wrote new songs and recorded new material for their Sophomore full length entitled No Hope For Tomorrow. Now Another Anthem has written and self produced their third full length record entitled So Long S.O. which was released in April 2011. They also embarked on an Oregon tour in the Spring of 2011 in support of the new album. On the bands fifth anniversary they brought second guitarist Craig Bradford in to the AA family. Another Anthem has future plans for more touring this year, writing new songs and taking their music careers to the next level. Be on the lookout for these guys, because they won't give up till they've taken over!
PRESS-
"Another Anthem was formed in 2006 by front man Matt Holben. They are a three piece punk rock band from Medford, OR. After several lineup changes the two surviving members (Matt Holben - Vocals and Logan Herzog - Bass) now perform with their newest drummer Jeff Antons.
The band has released 1 EP and 2 full length albums and they’re currently wrapping up recording on their third full length album.
I’ve seen these guys live and they have a lot of energy on stage and they really do put on a great performance. The music is very well put together, one of those bands that waits until they’ve perfected a song before performing it. Another Anthem really knows how to get a crowd going and they’ve got some great fans.

Influences
We're influenced by our families, our friends, our fans, Music, Art, Movies, Television, Life and the good and bad that comes with it, The working class, the underground punk scene, and social, political, and world issues. As far as music goes our influences are mostly based in punk rock, pop-punk and hardcore, but we enjoy everything from metal to classic rock to rock to alternative to acoustic music to the blues to country to psychobilly to folk to ska and much more. We try to put a little bit of all of our influences into our songs. Hopefully that's evident in our material. As far as bands go, we all listen to totally different things, but there are a few bands that we all agree we enjoy and take influence from. It would take a whole page dedicated to our influences to name them all though.
