The wait is finally over! After a long and spirited battle with the forces of the universe*, we are excited to announce that our second EP, Here Be Dragons, Vol II, is now available for immediate mass consumption!
You can download your copy TODAY at any of the following sites:
1st Choice: Our Store! – that way you can, you know, shop for other things like t-shirts, living room parties, etc.
2nd Choice: iTunes – because Apple is pretty cool (silent shout to Steve Jobs…)
3rd Choice: Amazon – because for whatever reason, Amazon just isn’t as cool as iTunes…
Once you get your hands on a copy, we’d love to hear what you think about Vol II! Feel free to give us a shout on our Facebook page or visit our Contact page to drop us a line!
EXTRA CREDIT – we’re always looking for ways to get our music in the hands of more people. Please help us spread the word about HBDVII by posting a link to any of the above sites on your Facebook page, Twitter feed, personal blog…anywhere really!
DOUBLE EXTRA CREDIT – …why stop there? Share your thoughts in an iTunes or Amazon review for all the strangers to see!

We might add an additional band here or there, so for the most current info, we suggest becoming a fan of ours on Facebook and/or follow us on Twitter. You’ll like it – we promise!
First, enjoy a little teaser of Vol. II tracks above! Yep yep yep, Volume II comes out this June. Boom (goes the dynamite!)
Second, AR will be rocking a residency at Union Hall during the month of April. Residency? Yes, residency! Every Thursday night, AR will be bocci-ing it up with friends upstairs, then breaking it down with friends downstairs. What friends, you ask? Well, full line-ups will be revealed shortly, BUT I will tease you with this, this, and this.
Third, we just got back from an amazing trip down to SXSW. After the jump you’ll find some of the highlights.
