From all of us in The Young Republic, have a wonderful holiday season!

Having just gotten back from our last endeavor on the road a week ago, tonight marks the first show of our Winter Tour 09!  We will be covering a large swatch of the North East of The US (a good number of witch will be with our soon to be great friends The Seedy Seeds), so check our dates and if we are going to be within a reasonable distance, come check out the show.  I promise we won't dissapoint.
