Awesome New Republic – Birthday

So yesterday was the 2 month birthday of TBE  and what better way to celebrate than with this appropriately titled track from Miami’s Awesome New Republic. I almost saw these guys perform in Brooklyn back in September but my plans got derailed as is common in those parts. Now that I am finally sinking my teeth (ears) into their tunes I am even more bummed. They are an amped up electro-disco tornado that I can see getting very sweaty to (on the dance-floor, or otherwise). Rational Geograpic Vol 1 is the first in a 3 part, 6 song each, trilogy to be released over the next few months. Vol 1 is out on Tuesday but the dudes in ANR are so crazy cool that they are giving it away for free at their website! Don’t sleep on that!

FUN FACT: “Birthday” was orginally written for the debut album of Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester. You can here her vocals on it at RCRD•LBL but I prefer the faster dude-to-dude version here.

Bury your face in MySpace for some great tunes not on Rational Geographic Vol 1
