In the political field, there is the Republican party and the Democrat party. Combine politics with partying and you have Awesome New Republic . Abbreviated as ANR , this is two men by the names of Michael-John Hancock and Brian Robertson. They express their views of the surrounding world through their soulful rock jams.

![ANR – It's Around You [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3727972_lg.jpg)
Created during Hurricane Irene, "It's Around You" is ANR 's most recent video. While many of us were probably without power and lying around, these guys were busy making art. The 3-minute visuals include different forms of interpretive dance and other gracious movements. As mentioned before, ANR ( Awesome New Republic ) is a duo band from steamy South Florida. They've been around for a few years but their sound is still very versatile. Watch the video below. ANR - It's Around You [...]
Fresh off of it's premiere on Rolling Stone yesterday, we've got the video for ANR 's "It's Around You". The single was recently released by our partners in crime Neon Gold Records on a seven inch. The video was shot by Jiliian Mayer and Lucas Leyva . It's a mix of recreated hurricane footage and performance art. The old man with the hose is my particular favorite. There are a lot of cool colors and some pretty solid choreographed dance moves as well. This song/video should be entered into [...]
ANR "Stay Kids" Music Video from Jorge Rubiera on Vimeo . ANR (formerly Awesome New Republic), are Brian Robertson and Michael-John Hancock. The sunshine-state based duo delivers orchestral type anthems, starting off with a slow build before launching into a wave of sound. "Stay Kids," the bittersweet track, is perfect for saying goodbye to the dog days of summer. ANR's debut album, Stay Kids , is out now

ANR is back at it. This time with the announcement of a 73 via something called Neon Gold Records . From what I can gather Neon Gold Records is based in NYC, they release albums and sometimes throw events in DC? I don't get it. I kid, we love Neon Gold and they are dear friends of ours. Anyways, we're excited to have the artwork for the 73 to share with you as well as a stream of the A-Side "It's Around You". It's an indebted tune combining the barbershop vocals of TV On The Radio with the [...]
Protection could easily be one of our next impulses, nationally, personally, something. Awesome New Republic, a Miami band that recently gained a ton of good press, have a single in exactly this vein, "New Armor". One of those slow speed jams that initially feels like it was a sent a text to meet at the corner of an updated George Harrison and pharmaceuticals, it evolves into a more direct

A banda ANR ( Awesome New Republic ) lançou nesse ano o álbum Stay Kids e no dia 13 de setembro, o disco ganhará uma versão deluxe. Nela haverá algumas faixas inéditas, incluindo a ótima New Armor que o blog Consequence of Sound postou em exclusividade. MP3: New Armor (via Consequence of Sound )

Miami, FL is known for their widespread electronic music scene, but buried underneath all of the blips and bass is a thriving indie-music culture begging to be heard. Still, instead of complaining about the lack of shine that the non-electronic acts get, South Florida natives Michael John Hancock and Brian Robertson – aka ANR (formerly known as Awesome New Republic) – did the next best thing: married the two genres, and released the band's breakout LP, Stay Kids , earlier this year. They've since been remixed by the likes of [...]

Jamie Harley directed this gorgeous new video for the ANR track "Dead Gulf". The ambient is a departure for the electro-pop duo and was featured on the now sold-out Big Problem 73. ANR released their wonderful new album Stay Kids last month, and if you buy it on iTunes it comes with "Dead Gulf" as a bonus track. If you haven't copped it yet you are seriously missing out.

If your unfamiliar, Marilyn Monroe Greatest Hits Remixed is a decent listen and no doubt adds something unique and extra to the sparse Monroe audio catalog. Remixers such as Danny B. Harvey , Effcee and James Hardway balance fresh sounds with the original recordings; basically a whole lot of vintage strings encountering synths. Click here to preview/purchase on iTunes. MP3: Happy Birthday (James Hardway Remix) by Marilyn Monroe And for good measure, I'm throwing in more birthday [...]

I've had this track chilling on my computer for a few days now, and I just keep sticking it on, especially as the sun has been shining outside (rare for England in April! ) and my mind strays to thoughts of BBQ's and all things summery. Whatever the weather, this remix by Miami based indie two-piece Awesome New Republic (ANR) of their fellow Miamian (Miamishman, Miamier?!) Rachel Goodrich has a painfully catchy chorus and an all round cheery vibe. Listen and download below, and lucky you, maybe get two new artists for the [...]

I can't tell you guys how much I love seeing Miami peeps infiltrate the indie music world. Rachel Goodrich has been coined as Miami's Indie Queen and ANR is undoubtedly a local fav for many. This morning several different promo companies hit my inbox with a Rachel Goodrich ANR remix and since Nightdrive LOOOOVVVVEEES local awesomeness we had no choice but represent and post. This remix is a match made in Magic City heaven. Enjoy: Rachel Goodrich - Light Bulb (ANR Remix)
Folky single "Light Bulb" from newly minted indie singer Rachel Goodrich (from Miami, Florida) gets even quirkier, dancier and maybe a bit more fun with this new remix from fellow Floridians ANR aka Awesome New Republic. Goodrich just released her second album of songs and played some dates around the SXSW festival, so we're sure [...]
ANR is the project formerly known as Awesome New Republic , first celebrated here via an Artist To Watch post on the solo works of the duo's John Hancock. Before long John had taken back his first name (Michael) and his old Awesome New Republic mate (Brian Robertson) to reunite the band . Later they'd drop a lot of letters from their name in favor of the acronym ANR and be atypically prolific, releasing an album or two a year. And later still, they'd make a 12-minute slasher film with the help of Miami's Borscht [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Mark Collins for AOL Crowds of festival goers swarmed the streets of Austin as SXSW quickly started to stand for "South by South-Wait." But there was shelter in the storm at small venues with good bands and no lines -- such as Karibu Ethiopian restaurant where the sheltered patio offered space for Awesome New Republic (ANR) to play a set for dedicated fans at 4 p.m. on Saturday (March [...]

ANR has been a major player in the Miami music scene for years now. We've all spent our early to late 20s listening to them and rocking out at their shows around town. They just finished a few gigs with Washed Out who was very impressed by the duo. Ernest Greene said "we thought they were really amazing. Just so much energy for two guys up on stage. We were psyched". ANR has also played a few shows with another of our local faves Mr. Millionyoung himself. Nightdrive was actually lucky enough to debut them (ANR + Millionyoung) as [...]

Direto das quentíssimas praias de Miami, surge uma banda um tanto quanto inusitada para o cenário local. Como dá pra supeitar, eles não fazem electro ou "a mais nova vertente do chill-wave ". Eles são os ANR , também conhecidos como Awesome New Republic, que lançaram EP atrás de EP desde 2008, e até chegaram a ganhar um artigo na BBC, que os descreveu como um "estranho híbrido entre o Red Hot Chilli Peppers e o MGMT ". Comparações a parte, o primeiro disco da banda será finalmente lançado agora, no dia 15 de Março, [...]
![[LP] ANR should STAY on all KIDS ipods if they want BIG jams and are having a PROBLEM finding them](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3183232_lg.jpg)
we've got the brains but not the bodies to live so fast ♫ ANR - Stay Kids You may remember Miami's ANR from when they went by Awesome New Republic and helped us ring in TBE's 2 month anniversary almost 2 years ago. Since then they dropped a few more EPs and an underwhelming LP before diving under the radar for a bit. Cut to 2011 and they have emerged leaner and meaner than every before. They've not only streamlined their name, but tightened their sound and honed in on [...]

The Brute Chorus From: London, United Kingdom Regular readers of the Devil's blog will already know that I am partial to the unfairly neglected but surely soon to be huge Brute Chorus. Their latest single 'Birdman' from their second album How The Caged Bird Sings is a rocking foot stomper that twitches and jerks like a marionette on crystal meth. It's a refreshing white knuckle ride back to the 50s with more energy than the Duracell bunny olympics. If it doesn't get your foot stomping then you may [...]
