Anthem Lights

Anthem Lights is a contemporary pop group from Nashville, TN. The band started as a solo project for singer Chad Graham under the name “Yellow Cavalier” around 2007. Graham and his friend Alan Powell began writing songs together for the project. After a series of recording sessions, the two decided that Yellow Cavalier should be a group of vocalists rather than just one.

Graham contacted his other friends Kyle Kupecky and Caleb Grimm from Liberty University to see if they’d be interested in joining the band. The two accepted and later had Powell become a vocalist as well. The group released a self-titled EP in mid 2009. It was then decided that the guys should rename themselves as “Anthem Lights”, for reasons that Kupecky states, “These songs [are] our anthem to the world saying, "Listen, we know there’s a lot of darkness in this life, but in the end, light is gonna win.” And we wanna be the light to people and just show them who the light of the world is."

Months later, the group was signed to Reunion Records, a subdivision of Provident Label Group, and released their self-titled EP under their new name in February of 2011, which three months later was taken down and made into their self-titled album.
