                                                    Two Ton Anvil is lead and fronted by vocalists/guitarists founding members Chris Chubb and Brian Ericson. The duo decided to put their creative minds together in summer of 2007 during the pre-production of Chubb's other project (Passin Throu) titled "In Your Head." With the talent and endless creativity to deliver, Two Ton Anvil is some of the heaviest and marketable music that the duo has ever created. They completed their vision by adding drum guru Kevin Tarpey and bassist Glenn Christon. Combining several metal genre’s like mid tempo heavy groove with fast thrash/speed metal there’s no question that tunes like "Victims" (current state of the economy), "What We’ve Made," and "Two Ton Anvil" are catchy tunes that keep you coming back for more. Maybe you want the speed of "Glass Houses" or the melodies of "Still Afraid." Whatever type of metal you're looking for; these guys seem to have it.

                                                    The big production of Two Ton Anvil's material makes it obvious there is no lack of engineering and production expertise on this project. A very meaty mind crushing sound with huge vocals and catchy melodies that are guaranteed to jar you head and blow your speakers out while tapping your feet and nodding your head. The band has consistently held multiple spots in the top ten lists of various websites claiming the #1 spot in several categories. Recently world released on www.indiestop10.com as featured artists in an interview with Mike Cameo. Listen to how many months in 2008/2009/2010/2011 that the TWO TON ANVIL has been showcased on Indies Top 10 podcasts alone.

                                                    Not only has Two Ton Anvil been slowly making a name for themselves in local Chicago music scene but also have shared the stage with national acts such as Five Finger Death Punch, Bury your Dead, In this Moment, Another Black Day, Kittie, Texas Hippie Coalition, etc. Recently recording their second CD release, Two Ton Anvil’s gearing up for a full out Chicago gigging schedule with coast to coast touring already in the works. The band already finished their first two video releases from the CD, "Victims" & "Corruption." It’s only a matter of time before these Metal Maniacs start taking over from city to city. Get ready for the Two Ton Anvil - you will not be disappointed.
