SHORT BAND/ARTIST HISTORY:

AnAkA is a heavy metal/ hard rock band from Brooklyn, New York with its musical influences ranging from Metallica to Alice In Chains and Black Sabbath. AnAkA was originally formed in 2000 but has quickly established a fan base in the NY underground heavy metal and hard rock scene aswell as the rest of the U.S.A.. AnAkA has performed and has also headlined historic and world famous N.Y.C. rock venues such as CBGB's, The Continental, L'Amour, Castle Heights, etc., and they can be described as being a very powerful live band, who can move their audience sonically, physically, and even psychologically. AnAkA's music off of "Down Devil's Road," has been played and requested on national radio stations here in the United States.

Along with making a well respected name for themselves in the U.S. underground hard rock/ heavy metal world, AnAkA is ranked the #1 most requested band and #1 album on the European radio station CRETE FM, in turn AnAkA has started building a strong fan base in Europe. AnAkA is also being played on hard rock/ heavy metal radio stations in Argentina. Word of AnAkA's good name and its earth shaking music is swiftly spreading all across the globe. AnAkA, "Down Devil's Road" is the bands first studio album, and it contains 7 kick ass heavy and heart felt tracks. AnAkA's music is rage, heartbreak, self realization, love, honor and wisdom ... powerful music for the outlaw-thinker that is found in all of us. AnAkA is currently in the studio working on AnAkA, "Rust & Jade," the bands second studio album, which is due to be released Fall 2003. The members of AnAkA strongly believe that "Rust & Jade" will show the rest of the music world what AnAkA is truly all about.

AnAkA has also signed with GODSEND RECORDS, and the band strongly feels that this label is just what they were looking for, one that would let AnAkA continue to AnAkA.

ADDITIONAL INFO/COMMENTS FROM THE BAND/ARTIST:

"Our music is honesty, it's about who we are. It's about the strength of the human spirt enduring. It's not for the look or a trend. Such things mean nothing to us. It's about being ourselves and creating the music we feel defines us. Our music can bring you from the lowest lows, back to the highest highs. Does it come easy? Yes. Is it genius? Mabye. Is it work? Never. Are you jealous? Always. Are you inspired? Truly. Maybe one day our spirits will live on in our songz ... Until then, watch us live life, and remember, Stay Wild Alwayz." - Peter Pallis, Guitarist of AnAkA

"Our music sometimes feels like it's all I need to get through. When I'm up on stage, sweating out every note, I realize that that's what life is all about. For that moment we're showing that audience what we are and what we are great at, and that's a very powerful feeling. Life for me hasn't always been the easiest thing to deal with, it tends to suck at times ... but one thing is for sure no matter what, our music is my life and my life is our music, and that's what it's all about, that's what AnAkA is all about. Keep it heavy and keep the beerz and Ketle One rolling in." Jimmy Pallis, Lead Singer of AnAkA

"In the life of AnAkA there are so many great qualities. A band of brothers who compose this energy of bliss. The ability to feel something inside and have it run out your fingers is incredible. Just the sight of seeing peoples reactions to the music is payback enough. Long live the life of AnAkA and our fans." - Karl Andreassen, Bass Guitarist of AnAkA

"Thanks to the fans that support us and our music, and f@#k those who don't believe. To my best friends Pete, Jimmy and Karl, thanks for giving me the opportunity to play and rock with you guys." - Tony Heredia, Drummer & Percussionist of AnAkA.
