"One of the most exhilarating and dynamic bands to come out of Devon in recent years, Arthur Walker deserve your full attention" - The Fly
"the kind of band that everyone couldn’t help but admire, and the kind of band that music mags pour over in their ‘Ones To Watch’ sections. Ones to watch, then." - 24-7 magazine
"a winning line in angular Pixies-esque pop" - BBC 6 Introducing with Tom Robinson
"more frantic hooks than a hyperactive angler" - 24-7 magazine
Formed in 2006 in Plymouth, Devon, Arthur Walker create epic, punchy, glass-infused songs to capture imaginations and rupture dreams. A piece of each band member is actually encapsulated in every song. Don't ask them how.
Such is the passion, honesty and sheer vitality of their music that the band quickly attracted local label interest. Arthur Walker signed to DBS Music in Autumn 2008 and immediately started work on their debut album.
Their love of catchy melodies, tightly-wound rhythms and off-kilt structures appears to rub off on those who watch and listen, resulting in high praise reviews and committed followers:
"The winners of this month’s Best Newcomers Award are ARTHUR WALKER whose disjointed new-wavery stuffed with lofty warm melodies made for the kind of band that everyone couldn’t help but admire, and the kind of band that music mags pour over in their ‘Ones To Watch’ sections." Backbone, 24-7 Magazine
Their debut album is due for release in October 2009, with tour dates to follow. The band have worked extremely hard to get the songs just right, which is tricky when each has their own unique ideas on how the music should sound. The outcome will be worth it though. Animal Nights will deliver serious thrill power. The music is life-affirming and captures the spirit and energy of their individual personalities, and yet it will destroy happy ideals at the same time. The music has already done this to them.
Soon, the product of almost two years of turbulent and excitable creativity will be here, so make sure you see Arthur Walker play up-close in a small venue. If you leave it too long, you will moan that you couldn't get close enough to the front to see them and curse that all of the t-shirts had sold out!
