ok. perhaps you didn't hear all the hype about these guys in the 80s, or last year.
here is the situation.
anvil was a thrash metal band out of toronto from the late 70s/early 80s who influenced a lot of bands, metallica, megadeth, anthrax (nice names i know). anywho why do you care? well, the boys in anvil influenced so many groups, but never ever found any success themselves. bad management, bad record production and a bad turn in the music industry left these guys out in the cold.
however the guys never gave up...! after 30 years of no success... no recognition, a former roadie made a documentary on the band and people fell in love with them. you can't help but fall in love with the guys... even if metal isn't your thing... i think a preview of this documentary will make you tear up... watch it here
