The UK rock scene has long been a breeding ground for legendary talent, and one band proving their place in this lineage is Anchor Lane. Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, this powerhouse trio has been making waves with their high-energy performances, compelling songwriting, and a sound that seamlessly blends modern rock with classic influences.

Formed in 2015, Anchor Lane consists of lead vocalist Conor Gaffney, guitarist Lawrence O’Brien, and drummer Graeme Newbury. Their hard-hitting riffs and anthemic melodies have drawn comparisons to the likes of Royal Blood, Biffy Clyro, and Foo Fighters, while still maintaining a distinct, fresh edge that sets them apart.
