Anvil: The Story of Anvil

At age 14, Toronto school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Forming their band Anvil, they went on to become the demi-gods of Canadian metal with their acclaimed 1982 album Metal on Metal. The album influenced a generation of rockers that included Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, but despite their notoriety, Anvil quickly slipped from the limelight and into obscurity. Almost 30 years later, Lips and Robb continue to chase their dream. This behind-the-scenes autobiography follows the ups and down of the duo's career and their volatile friendship, reveals their dedication and unadulterated passion for their music, and leaves no stone unturned along their last-ditch quest for fame and fortune. Based on Sacha Gervasi's award-winning film of the same name, this hilarious yet poignant account is a reminder that dreams really can come true.
