1. What's new with East of Anthony?
I guess you might say, a lot. Shows are getting booked. And not just locally. Opportunities out of state as well. Our following/fan base is growing faster then I imagined. Just to name a couple.
2. What can you tell us about the new music?
It's coming, that's for sure. We are poised to release our first Studio EP entitled "Higher Ground". It's set to drop on February 1st, 2025. It's the beginning of a bigger project. It will feature "New Messiah" that was released in December of 2024 and "Free" that was released Jan 10th of this year along with two more singles, "Fake Faces" and "Higher Ground" of which the EP is named after. We worked with Executive Producer Jeremy Huddleston of Huddleston Music on this EP and what he has brought to the table with this album is nothing of amazing. After this EP, we break ground on the second EP, 4 more songs. The two EPs will then unite to become one full album. Our goal is to release that this summer.
3. What have been some highlights within the past year for the band?
A highlight? I guess probably getting consistently booked and seeing our streams from various platforms, really take off. Not to mention our fan base is growing. It's exciting to see that.
4. Any music videos in the works?
Yes! The plan next month is to work with Valhalla Media and Marketing to shoot our very first legit video.
5. What are some pre-show rituals you may have?
I don't guess we really have pre show ritual. I know, boring right?! Sometimes we have a beer right before, depending on the venue, but other then that, I can't think of any.
6. What's your favorite show you've ever played and why?
It would have to be The Moon Over Main Total Eclipse Festival last year. Lots of cool vibes, cool crowd. We met some really good people that weekend as well. Made some good friendships.
7. What's something you wish you could change about your local music scene?
I suppose, more venues that cater to original music. Don't get me wrong, it's getting better. But the more places that we can get to support this, will open up more opportunities for bands and solo musicians to get heard.
8. What are you currently listening to?
That's a loaded question. I can't speak for the other guys except maybe Todd, we all know there is some daily Nirvana listening going on 😂. But seriously, with me it's all over the place. Lately it's Breaking Benjamin, A Day to Remember, Dance Gavin Dance, Katsu (local guys) Lord Huron, Eminem, to name a few. Like I said, all over the place.
9. What do you wish to accomplish in the next year?
Definitely finishing out the album. Continuing to grow as a band. Getting our music heard by more and more people and honestly, just having fun in the process.
