On Anam Cara, the bands first proper record, A. Armada weaves its sound through ringing guitars dipped in echo and a rhythm section that serves more as propellant than mere support. The pieces shift from somber genteelness to intense consideration to soft cradling. This isn’t music to conquer the world by; this is music to conquer oneself with. But if you ask the band about this they’ll probably give you a blank stare. And that’s, really, the whole point. In making music for themselves they’ve inadvertently made it for you. A. Armada distinguishes itself from its peers by possessing an intangible Southernism which renders its intensity more introspective than bombastic.
-Gordon Lamb, Flagpole Magazine
Athens, Georgia has given birth to its newest musical prodigies, A. Armada. The instrumental quartet uses an incendiary marriage of weaving guitars and pounding drums to create their brand of music.

Congratulations on the European tour and the featured article in the Banner-Herald's Marquee Fellas. I would also like to do a feature for The Socialite Press. I've just started this, and I'll be featuring S2 (formerly Sursie) also from Athens, for November-December, but I would like to include you guys in the future. Give me a shout back when you're back in the states.
