Pop-rock band Anarbor harbours much talent.
To say that pop-rock band Anarbor has talent would be an understatement. After releasing the successful Free Your Mind EP last year, the guys headed into the studio to record their highly anticipated debut album, The Words We Don't Swallow. Mr. Big Shot and The Whole World are just a couple of their songs that are perfect for a hot summer day. However, one complaint about the album is that while The Words You Don't Swallow is beautifully written, it is a bit unoriginal and you may find the songs getting a bit repetitive. Anarbor sounds like the generic pop-punk band, and could be easily confused for bands such as The Academy Is… or All Time Low. Despite the band’s generic sound, Anarbor makes it work, and the group’s debut album shines with potential for a bright future.
