BIOGRAPHY:
Keeping her mouth shut is something that
ANTI-HERO’s frontwoman Rose Perry has never been able to
master. Growing up as a troubled and confused youth, music
was the one outlet through which she could gain total
acceptance. Never succumbing to negative temptation, Perry
sought refuge through her artistic endeavours in hopes that
the experiences she went through would one day serve as
inspiration for her listeners.
"ANTI-HERO’s music is refreshing. It motivates me to be
strong and confident."- Amelia Favata, Creator,
ANTI-HERO Streetteam Leader
Never anticipating that she would end up the leader behind a
rock and roll phenomenon, Perry, unlike other rockers,
maintains humility and takes the time to show her fans how
much they are appreciated.
"Anti-Hero's live shows are loud, obnoxious, a little silly
at times ... you can’t ask for anything better than that.
Anti-Hero always go out of the way to make their fans feel
special, which is rare these days in music." - Patman
Coates, Official ANTI-HERO Bitch
Acting as not only a band comprised of four extremely
talented musicians, but rather the voice of a generation,
ANTI-HERO has captured issues of societal prominence through
the lyrics of their hard-hitting catchy rock-infused
anthems.
"ANTI-HERO’s music has helped me so
much on an individual basis – they put light in my dark
days, and even more light in the good days. They are not
just a band; they are four people who I look up to. Much
love to them." – Mich Elik, Creator, ANTI-HERO
Fansite
Dubbed as the '21st Century’s Answer to Nirvana' (CoverZone
Magazine, USA), ANTI-HERO’s raw unapologetic attitude
harkens back to a time when music, like any other art form,
was inspirational, not sold as a commodity.
With their passionate presence, and commitment to delivering
music with meaning, ANTI-HERO continues to raise the
standards for musicians everywhere.
"ANTI-HERO is the heart of what
music was meant to be. Passion. Drive. Dedication.
Inspiration. And always presented with a positive message." –
Jackery Schlifer, ANTI-HERO fan
Comprised of Nic VanH, Perry’s bombshell blonde sidekick on
Bass & Backing Balls, Jesse Tomes, the group’s Lead
Guitarist, Arranger & Comic relief, and finally, Todd
Stewart, more commonly known as T-Bag (yes, there is a good
story behind this one folks) keeping it loud, consistent,
and in perfect tempo on drums, ANTI-HERO is not your average
rock quartet.
As Perry explains, "We try to promote ‘following one’s
dreams’ as one of our strongest messages. We write what we
know – how we feel, and who we are as people. We don’t write
your cliché love and hate songs, but rather, with our music,
we try to pay homage to the artists of the past who have
made the industry what it is today. We are not here to fit
into any molds, or preconceived notions of what it means to
be in a female-fronted band. This is real rock with real
attitude, and we are real people just trying to tell our
story, hoping we can reach others with what we say."
ANTI-HERO’s definitely primed to take on the music biz, and
with their impressive D.I.Y. ethics which have earned them
accolades of success, seeing them crowned as rock and roll
royalty will surely be no surprise to anyone.
In a time when the music industry is over-run by copycat
artists selling their souls just to become the next flavour
of the week, ANTI-HERO, like Nirvana, remains true to their
vision: playing the music that they want.
