Over the course of six years, Anberlin has established themselves as one of alternative rock's most exciting acts.  They've transcended that sound with New Surrender.  In fact, their latest album that shows the band reconcillin all of their seemingly disparate moods into a cohesive blend of music that will lull you to sleep with gentle harmonies one minute and shake you to the core via raw, distortion-drenched rock riffage the next.

Although the album retains the Anberlin sound that fans have grown to love, in many ways it's also an album of firsts that marks the next chapter in the band's illustrious history.  "The whole album is conceptualized around the theme of the new surrender in the sense that everyone in their lives has something they know they have to give up," says Christian.  "There's something that's holding each of us back from who we could become, so I think each song kind of tackles that theme of surrendering parts of life whether it's a person or a vice."

New Surrender is also the first Anberlin album to work the band's well-documented humanitarian efforts into the lyrics, which have included going to Kenya to teach about AIDS prevention or traveling to Calcultta, Indai, to educate the masses about the danger of human trafficking.

The Orange Peel, opened (for the second time) in the Fall of 2002 and has quickly made a name for itself from coast to coast as a great place to see live music. The building was a skating rink in the 1950's, after that it was the site of several soul and R&B clubs, the most prominent was called, The Orange Peel. After 20+ years of sitting mostly vacant, the club was renovated and reopened by new management, but kept the same name. Ever since, national and international bands of all styles have been playing the Peel to rave reviews. Some of the more prominent artists to perform include Bob Dylan, the Flaming Lips, Blondie, Jurassic 5, and Joe Cocker. The Orange Peel is only open when there is a show scheduled. Shows are scheduled frequently, almost always on weekend nights and occasionally up to seven nights a week. Shows usually start at 8 or 9pm, and last for varying lengths depending on the artist performing. It contains a hardwood floor, high ceiling, a powerful sound and light system, and 'the cleanest toilets in the South'. Most shows are 18 and over, although some are 16+ or all ages, consult the club for more info. This thousand-person capacity venue frequently sells out, so if there's a show you're set on attending, you might want to get advance tickets to avoid disappointment. The Orange Peel is a NON SMOKING venue. No membership is required, beer and wine is served, and the average ticket price range is $12-$18 (sometimes more, sometimes less).
