Overview Edit

National Anthem of Nowhere is the second album by Canadian indie rock band Apostle of Hustle. It was released in Canada on February 6, 2007.

Andrew Whiteman, the band's frontman and lead guitarist of Broken Social Scene, admires world music, and influences upon this album have included Cuban-style guitars and Spanish lyrics.

"There is a specific story to the album, to me," Whiteman says. "There's a specific geography, which is under the rubric of the dockside. And there is a story. I wouldn't want to tell anyone the story, in case they've written their own. But it involves the supernatural, and various revolutionary statements."

In January 2007, the band launched a contest inviting fans to cover or remix the first track, "My Sword Hand's Anger".

"My Sword Hand's Anger" reached #1 on CBC Radio 3's R3-30 chart the week of March 8, 2007.
