Arkells has successfully combined 2 genres together that I have been searching for for a very long time, Southern Rock and Indie Rock. Verdict = AMAZING!
They have only released one album back in 2008 and Jackson Square has already brought them far for a band in its early stages. They have toured with a band that everyone has heard of Tokyo Police Club. They are on their way to gaining frequent radio play.
They perfectly create catchy, indie rock guitar hooks and vocals with a feeling of soul and southern rock behind it. So not only are their songs catchy, but they also carry a punch with them to get your blood pumping and lets you actually "feel" the song. It's a wonderful feeling, almost sublime(not the band.)
Their songwriting abilities are superb as there is no boring song on this album. You can listen to it in its entirety and want more, a difficult feat to accomplish.
I cannot wait to see where these guys go in the next couple of years because they will be making a name for themselves quickly!
Songs I Recommend:
Oh, The Boss Is Coming - instant hit
Deadlines - one of my favorites
Pullin Punches
Abigail
I'm Not The Sun - a bit more mellow, but top notch for sure
John Lennon - very catchy!!
