ANVIL's 20th studio album "One And Only", was released in June 2024 via AFM Records and features music that showcases the band's unique sound.,In an interview with Victor Ruiz of Signals From Mars, Anvil guitarist/vocalist Steve 'Lips' Kudlow discussed how his band never quite hit it big despite being musically ahead of their time due to poor management, shady record labels, and bad luck.
He also talked about the differences between hard rock and metal music.,The band's 2008 rockumentary "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" was a critical success and follows Kudlow and Reiner as they try to revive their careers in the music industry.
