   About The Poison Arrows
go to THE POISONARROWS.COM for grandest info.

With the break up of Atombombpocketknife, singer/guitarist Justin Sinkovich began releasing remixes and solo avant electronic tracks as The Poison Arrows on compilations in the US and Europe, and then on 2004’s Trailer Park EP, released by File 13 Records. Restless from solo work, Sinkovich began collaborating. Bassist Patrick Morris soon joined the band. It was his first band since his departure from Don Caballero in 1999 after the release of the seminal What Burns Never Returns. Adam Reach joined behind the drum kit and Chicago’s The Poison Arrows lineup was solidified.

The next year was spent developing a new sound, rehearsing and recording in Sinkovich’s studio The Plaza. An initial direction was realized and songs began pouring out of the studio, and shows were played in cities throughout the Midwest. The Poison Arrows also gravitated toward unorthodox events like the live scoring of an experimental 3D film entitled Year. In August of 2006, File 13 released a series of eleven remixes of early tracking on MP3 with eleven accompanying video clips entitled Premix. Remix contributors included Martin Rev from Suicide, TRS-80, and Jonah Sharp AKA Spacetime Continuum.

Four songs were completed and now comprise the band’s debut Straight Into The Drift EP released by File 13 in March of 2007. This release features long meandering arrangements, all of which were chopped up, treated, edited and effected to the nth. Reach’s mechanics are blown out with compressors into electronic influenced beats. Morris contributes layer upon layer of puzzling bass loops. Meanwhile, his signature bass sound anchors melodies throughout, considerably more prevalent than a typical bass contributions. Sinkovich orchestrates dozens of layers of shimmery off-kilter guitars, stark and sparse vocals that teeter on winding spoken word, all drenched with unsettling Kubrick-inspired synthesizers.

The debut Poison Arrows album nears completion for release in 2008. The LP’s basic tracks were recorded by Greg Norman at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio. The overdubs and mixing are being finished at The Plaza.

Fankx for the add. Fantastic, restores my faith. Poison Arrows are the real deal. Unlike a lot of these comments we're not writing this to entice you to our site because frankly ours is crap. The music is goodish but anyway this is what I call 'really good'. Better than two griping grumpy's who live in Belgium. We have fun though, and occasionally we're released from custody to continue the celebrations accordingly. In other words we're not up our own arses, not at all, just a couple of harmless muso's who missed the boat and aren't that bothered. Well we're a bit bothered but according to Paul's therapist that's OK. We love music, making it, listening to it, going to see it performed and now and then writing it. That's all besides the point, this band is what a good band should be - really good. Keep up the good work, make loads of money, feed the starving, declare universal peace and when your quest for global domination is fulfilled... remember those two grumpy's in Belgium. Lots of love and best wishes Paul and Martin
