About The Arcades

Well its just me, I live in Harrow. Been writing songs for about 5/6 years and have decided that it would be cool to try and get something recorded. Waiting for mates to come back from uni to start a band and really get stuck into it but this is just some of my own little numbers to pass the time. I've been away to Australia and was lucky enough to get a cd recorded with my good mate Matt Carroll behind the desk (check out his page @ www.myspace.com/mattycaudio). We managed to get 10 songs down and they sound a hell of a lot better than my original recordings. There's 6 old tunes (Blinded By Everything, Way To Sea, The Leaving, Bricks & Mortar, Up The Garden Path & Keep You Blue) and 4 new ones (Streets Of London, Off My Mind, Fame & The Ghost & Out Of Line) that I wrote while I was away. Big thanks to Matt, Steven, Diane, Grant, Sarah & Kim for their input on the cd & to Daniel for the artwork. If you're interested in getting a copy let me know. Hope you can get a feel for the tunes. Look forward to hearing your feedback. Thanks for taking the time out to look at this page. Drop me a line anytime here or email me at thearcades@hotmail.com. Ed.
