Alex Kramer and Rocko Rochee, who make up electro-pop band a&r, recently relocated from Chicago to Brooklyn to gain exposure in the heart of Brooklyn’s indie music scene.  a&r’s sound is a fusion between human and machine combining addictive sonic stylization with sophisticated pop sounds.  The band is the winner of the 2010 Beck’s Beer Music Export and has shared the stage with Mark Ronson, the Virgins, the Drums, Airborn Toxic Event, French Horn Rebellion, Hey Champ and Cassette Kids.  

Their sophomore EP, “Aquarium,” is a great listen and can be downloaded here.  Check out a&r’s website to learn more about them.

Alex Kramer is a Digital Producer at ArnoldNYC working with Aetna, Mederma, Nexxus, NYU and St. Ives.
