Biography

Not to be confused with the Japanese heavy metal unit that went by the name Anthem back in the '80s, the Anthem profiled in this bio is a reggae band from Bridgeport, CT. The members of Anthem, which was formed in 1996, are not hardcore purists when it comes to reggae; they prefer a crossover approach to reggae that is comparable to, among others, Caribbean Pulse, Third World, and Steel Pulse. The Connecticut outfit has been greatly influenced by urban contemporary, pop, and adult contemporary, and some of their recordings don't have a reggae beat at all -- at times, Anthem is really providing R&B/pop with a Jamaican vocal style.
