About
Pittsburgh native Anthony Rankin is taking the music scene by storm with infectious hooks, blazing guitar, and an impassioned, unmistakable voice - the perfect vehicle to deliver songs built upon his confident sense of melody and poignant lyrical landscapes. At age 23, he has released three independent albums, with his fourth due this fall. The Distance, Rankin's latest full-length offering, was launched in October 2007 to rave reviews, a sold-out CD release party at the Hard Rock Cafe Pittsburgh, and a Borders Books & Music-sponsored acoustic tour through the northeast US.
Since its release, local rock radio stalwart WDVE has featured him multiple times on their award-winning Morning Show and hosted his performances at station events like the Jim Krenn & Friends Celebrity Roast, while alt-rock sister station The X recently gave wings to his current single "Quicksand". In addition, national recording artists and Western Pennsylvania mainstays Donnie Iris and The Clarks have invited Anthony to be a recurrent opening act.
Songs like "Under the Radar" - a track "carefully crafted for pheromonal appeal and hook smarts" (according to Manny Theiner of Pittsburgh City Paper) - can ensure this wunderkind is destined to make a big noise in the not-so-distant future.
