Purchased CD at Seacrets in Ocean City

I had the pleasure of spending a Saturday evening with my friends for girls weekend at Seacrets where we listened to the sounds of Anthem.  I must say it was without a doubt a great ride.  The music and harmony was just what we needed to set the evening off...
I purchased your Serious CD and of course it is off the hook.
Much luck to all of you as you pursue your dreams...looking forward to seeing and hearing you again at Seacrets in September.
Thanks for making our girls weekend pleasurable and memorable!

I purchased the SERIOUS CD at Seacrets in July, 2001, while vacationing in Ocean City, MD. Your selection of songs is wonderful.  The beat keeps people dancing until dawn.  Keep up the good work.  When will your next CD be completed?

This is wonderful reggae; a bit reminiscent of the best Brazilian reggae. Heavy beat, good songs expertly performed, singing IN TUNE (not a given these days!), altogether very enjoyable. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
