In April 2008, the band was signed to Hopeless Records while still attending high school in Arizona.

The band began playing together in Garrity's garage in the southern Phoenix community of Ahwatukee in early 2003.

In December 2004, the band recorded their debut EP, "You Brought This On Yourself" with producer Matt Grabe, which was released locally in May 2005.

They changed their name to Anarbor stemming from the fact that former guitarist Mike Kitlas' sister was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan west of Detroit.

In October 2008, Myers announced her departure from the band, due to excessive touring and her interest in going to college.

An acoustic version of Anarbor's song "Passion for Publication" appeared in the compilation Take Action!

[5] On May 14, 2013, Anarbor released a lyric video for another song off of Burnout, titled "Who Can Save Me Now", via the Hopeless Records YouTube Channel.

In addition, Anarbor's music is featured daily on ESPN's top-rated show SportsCenter.

They filmed a music video, "You and I", which aired on Cartoon Network showcasing the tune, in addition to playing on the movie's trailer.

Anarbor's tune "Let the Games Begin" is the theme song to "Good Day L.A.", a national talk show broadcast from Los Angeles.

"Let the Games Begin" was featured in the episode "Boards of Glory" in Stoked, a hit Canadian cartoon on Teletoon.
