Biography

Hard rockers Anew Revolution are based in Austin, TX and were founded by former Ünloco vocalist/guitarist Joey Duenas together with ex-Slaves on Dope members Frank "Frankie" Salvaggio (bass/backing vocals) and Rob Urbani (drums). The trio proceeded to hone its chops on a pair of independently released EPs -- 2005's Revolution and 2007's Live at the Machine Shop in Flint -- before securing a deal with Koch/E1 (and enlisting lead guitarist Shaun Stockton) for the release of the group's debut full-length, Rise, in 2008. Along the way, Anew Revolution (ANR for short) toured with bands like Drowning Pool, Nonpoint, 12 Stones, Otep, and Kittie, and scheduled the release of their sophomore album, iMerica, in April 2010. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

History

Anew Revolution was formed by ex-Unloco frontman Joey Duenas and includes Frank "Frankie" Salvaggio and Rob Urbani, former members of Slaves on Dope. The band released a five-track self-released EP in 2005 featuring the tracks "Cave In," "Rise," "Let Go," "Saddest Song," and "Pieces." In 2007 the band recorded several tracks performed at a live show held at The Machine Shop in Flint, Michigan and released a four-track CD which included new tracks "Bite My Tongue," "Savior," and "Blister & Burn." Anew Revolution officially signed a worldwide record deal with Koch Records in late August 2007.

Rise (2008-2010)

On April 15, 2008 ANR released their first full length album, Rise, produced by Mudrock (Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold) Tighter, heavier and more dynamic then the previous recordings, Rise features crowd favorites such as "Done", "Rise", "Generation".

iMerica (2010-2012)

Anew Revolution released their second studio record entitled iMerica May 18, 2010 via E1 Music. Produced by Ben Schigel, a musician, record producer and vocalist from the band Switched who has produced for such bands as Drowning Pool, Walls of Jericho, Chimaira & many more. This album was a graduation, of sorts, for Anew Revolution, Salvaggio saying, “We always project ourselves as an intense, driving band live. When we first started, we were finding our identity, from the EP to the first album, which was us finding our pocket. The birth of this album is where we are going to go and we know we can keep going.” iMerica featured a darker side to ANR with the crowd anthem "Head Against The Wall", and intense, darker sounding tracks like "Crucify" & "Social Suicide"

New Music (2011- )

ANR is currently working on their third CD, due out in 2012.
