Their whole atmosphere can be described as a combination of a number of associations - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Placebo, Queens Of The Stone Age and Interpol. And I’m not necessarily talking about similarities, but rather the same type of sensitivity. Their songs are solid rock numbers, coming out of the dusk in a slow tempo, enveloped in an aura of psychedelic colours. Add to that poetic lyrics written with feeling, brimming with existential reflections - and the result is that these simple and suggestive guitar compositions, carefully crafted, acquire a specific charm and promising sound. The essence of the band is made up of three inimitable organs. They are reluctant to talk of any influences, although they accentuate their inspirations of course. They are fully aware of the artistic road they have chosen, and continue in this direction.
The band is fresh from playing Glastonbury Festival, Malta Festival, and Open'er Festival in Poland this year. The album "Passagalia" was released in Poland in late June, and is also available to buy in the UK, US, Italy, Germany, Sweden, France, Spain and elsewhere via Amazon and iTunes. The band is working hard at having the album on general release in these (and other) countries as soon as possible.
"... stunning ... their album should make good listening for any fans of strong bass linses, intelligent guitars, pronounced vocals, and dominant drumming ... it may just be worth keeping an ear open for these guys. They might just be bursting onto the scene soon." (www.rockpulse.co.uk)
"... there is certainly a future for the band ... with its big eighties-esque vocals and loud crunching guitars ... they’re almost like a heavy Interpol or a European tinged Black Rebel Motorcycle Club ... good fun and a mighty fine racket." (www.subba-cultcha.com)
They have recently played London venues such as The Astoria, The Clapham Grand, Meanfiddler, The Bull&Gate, Cargo, Buffalo Bar, Scala, Telegraph, as well as Fort Regent in Jersey. They have also recently played shows in Poland, and are currently in the process of arranging various shows around the UK and in Poland (and beyond) for the coming months.
We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
Dear Friend, finally it is out! The LONG expected release of our EP "Interrupted (Triptych I)" !!!
