Anarbor Review

Anarbor is a band out of Phoenix, Arizona.  They have a killer line up of songs, bands they’ve toured with, and places they’ve been.  These guys have been around since 2003 and have been moving through the airwaves ever since.  They’ve toured with bands like VersaEmerge, The Ready Set, The Friday Night Boys, The Cab, and our buddies Runner Runner.  They were on all of the Vans Warped Tour in 2010 and have put out 3 cds under Hopeless Records.  These guys have an amazing sound.  It has the rock/punk sound we know all too well but then they add in a funk to it that you can’t help but tap your toe to.  They keep an amazing beat and lyrics are going to get stuck in your head.  They have been all over the world and have perfected their sound.  They are definitely a band you want to add to a mix in your ipod.  Another great use for them is if you don’t want to listen to the fast upbeat but still want that punk rock sound.  They are a band you put at the end of a cd to ease you down and give you a break from the concert feeling and singing at the top of your lungs.  Highly suggest picking them up.  My favorite song by them right now is Mr. Big Shot.  Definitely a good beat and great guitar sound to mix the feeling of rock music and swing dancing.  Free downloads on their site too.  Free is always good.

Anarbor is a band with an interesting sound.  It’s a very traditional punk.   Very much a vocal over music kind of feel.  I can’t say that I’m a super fan of these guys but they are quite good.  I really like the front vocal.  He has a very warm and inviting voice that draws you to the surface of the sea of music behind him.  This is the kind of music you listen to when you’re either really upset or really want to forget things and just drift.  It’s defiantly a different feel.  Although these guys are good, I feel like I’ve heard them all before.  They seem to fade into everything.  I’m not sure what the wow factor is with these guys.  I really do like the vocals though.  It’s feel good music.  So if you down in the dumps, I’d listen to them
