Currently on the Take Action Tour with Cute is What We Aim For, Meg &

Dia, Breathe Carolina and Every Avenue, Anarbor is that new Pop-Punk

sound that everyone loves. With catchy lyrics about love, heartbreak

and seemingly important issues, and a melody you’ll be humming all

day, this band is not just another fad, they’re here to stay. If you

like bands like New Found Glory, Forever The Sickest kids and Fall Out

Boy, you’re bound to get hooked on Anarbor.

With their Ep “Free Your Mind”, that will be released on March 10th, Anarbor makes it a point

to be all real and only play instruments in their songs that they can

play live. They’ve got a great dance-pop feel that you wont get sick

of after a week of listening to them.

The Bird and The Bee’s sixth disc gives fans exactly what they’re looking for: a kick-ass Cd that s guaranteed to keep you dancing for days.  Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future delivers the band’s familiar retro-pop style;  on the other hands this CD sounds anything but familiar.  The band’s duo Greg and Inara, combine their common love of jazz standards and passion for music, and certainly deliver to their fans.  In fact, if I could only describe The Bird and The Bee in one one, it would be different.  It’s the type of music people spend years searching for;  something that doesn’t conform, something that sounds real.  If you have yet to check them out, go to their website!
