Sounds Like
A sound like nobody else but with everything chucked in. From rock to new romantic to punk and electro, they listen to everything and thread it all in.
Influenced by their heroes, The Specials, Talking Heads, Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield, The Jam , The Clash, The Police. Lyrically they are inspired by day to day life ,their friends , nightlife, streetlife, girls!
Tim,..bass player with well known drum & bass producer GOLDIE...worked on the ground breaking debut TIMELESS and as a co-writer of TEMPER TEMPER and bass player on Goldie's second album SATURNZ RETURNZ.....
Tim began programming and writing using Akai samplers, old synths, Atari and a Tascam reel to reel multi-track tape machine. OLD SCHOOL stuff really, while doing his regular job...
While that was being fine tuned, ideas and songs were also laid down. Rough vocals were added, mixed and played to mates for a reaction. After receiving encouraging feedback on those demos, some low key gigs were performed with just a backing track, vocalist and live bass.
That made it very clear that a band would be the way forward.
You can now catch them around the place, anywhere they can possibly plug in and play...they will play..It's in the blood.
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!
