4/1/13 This is No Joke!
Do A Barrel Roll! is coming out of a long winter hibernation, and it's time to gear up for a busy 2013! We are currently in the studio recording a full-length album that we will release details on soon, as well as 2 other secret projects!
For now, Thunderous Crash will have to tide you over for just a BIT longer, minions. We will be rolling out a super-special music video leading up to album announcement in the springtime. Follow that up with a top-secret EP in the fall and you're in for a lot of Barrel Rolls this year! There's even more that we can't announce yet, so just keep your heads on a swivel.

12/17/11 How Long Does it Take to be Awesome?
While we hope that you remain ever-vigilant for the moment when evil will strike again, we also want you to spend time with your friends and loved ones this winter. Do a Barrel Roll! always enjoys a nice racing tournament, so perhaps you'd like to join us!
"After an intense battle against evil, every hero needs to unwind in the communion of great friends, but the spirit of battle and competition will always prevail! In the Mushroom Kingdom we race on to glory!" -Zero, from Thunderous Crash
The members of DABR! thought to themselves: "How long does it take to be awesome?" We determined the answer to be exactly 18 minutes and 14 seconds.
However, our sensors indicate that many cower in fear of 18 minutes of epic glory. We ask that you show your courage, minions! Race alongside us! Godspeed, and we'll see you in the Winner's Circle!
