The Ataris are an American alternative rock band from Anderson, Indiana. They have released five studio albums, with So Long, Astoria certified gold. In 2009, an album was announced to be entitled The Graveyard of the Atlantic although the album's status has been on indefinite ambiguity, with just two EPs released in 2010 and 2012 both with the same titles as the awaited album.
Sometime you've got to stop and remember, You're not going to live forever. Be young, think smart, stay true & just follow your heart.
