Awesome New Republic

Awesome New Republic is a 2-piece indie band from Miami, FL comprised of core members Michael John Hancock and Brian Robertson. MJ and B-Rob both graduated from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami and have been cultivating their sound in “Magic City” for the past 3 years. ANR self-released their first album ANR So Far to critical and popular acclaim in 2005. After a successful 2008 CMJ, the band headed back into the studio to complete Rational Geographic Volume I which they will be supporting and touring around for the bulk of spring. The disc will be the first in a 3-volume trilogy to be released in 2009. Volume II will be released in July and Volume III (with 3 volume bundle) in October.
