"It's 3 am and I can't fall asleep"

As I watch the video I look at the clock and proceed to laugh my ass off

3:03 AM

[brentsopel44]

that old man with his foot on the mountain probably blows his whistle and gets mad pussy

[Asradi]

@brentsopel44 Absolutely must.

[sixtyninetychip]

sounds too similar to all their other songs

[mrsweatyburrito]

i've had this stuck in my head every second of the day for over a week now

[jaredandkory]

@Losuol I didn't know illscarlett was Canadian... Right on, anyways.

[jaredandkory]

I really like this one... I swear the future of rock is in Canada. While most popular rock bands kinda suck, the live music of really good small time bands is on fire. Good to see a decent rock band played on the radio, keep rockin in the free world Arkells.

[Losuol]

@jaredandkory There's a couple actually, Arkells, Illscarlett, etc. Problem is most people only look at Nickelback :p

[flaweddesign97]

thumbs up if you think im jesus

[hottopic0761]

my boyfriend said he didn't like the arkells, he's now single. lol jk he's dead.

[criznittles]

[jakeadamsonmusic]

I swear I'm going to lose my hearing listening to this song... in the best way possible

[snipist29]

They are a great Canaian Band, I  had the honor or meeting Max and he is a great guy and is down to earth and respects all the Band's fan base....

[MyLifeIsMusic06]

This song fucking rocks!

[12lacy34]

Going to see them tonight ! They're playing in Barrie for New Years ! Going to be AWESOME !

[InsideJoking]

This song is fucking sexy.

[kodiack7777]

Awesome live band :)



[chuggnation1]

sick song!!!

[MrNic8u]

97.7 HTZFM



[thecam4444]

sweet 100k views thats up so much since i was here last way to go arkells!

[Alexeters]

You fucked up on the lyrics

[TheGoddessCaroline]

I wait for this song when I'm driving and when it comes on it totally makes my day. Love your catchy, happy hook and great raw voice. Timing is everything and you nailed it on this one. Thanks for making my day and making my drive feel good. "When it happens....!!" It's what I need...

[CyborgRhinoFromSpace]

The Arkells get alot of Airtime in Calgary on x92.9. It's where I discovered them. We're lucky to have a station that specializes in good music.

[TRobinson555]

I heard this on My96fm when travelling in CA. Great stuff!

From the UK

[ThePartyStickMan18]

102.1 and Y108 need to play this way more

[bronson396]

thumbs up if you came here from Y108!

[dazmondo69]

these guys were better than those tools nickelback at the grey cup.

[Perallious]

@dazmondo69 Could not agree with you more on that one. I really thought the two should have switched spots. Actually, on second thought, no Nickelback at all. They should have just got the Arkells to play both slots.

[mulatto321]

They are from my city, Hamilton, ontario

[sLuuugZz]

@mulatto321 You own Hamilton? FIX THAT PIECE OF SHIT THEN lol.

[timothyevanrichard]

saw you guys at roots n blues in salmon arm, never heard of you til then, you guys really made an impression and stuck with me. new fan.

[TheSerpentineGunners]

You guys showed up Nickelback at the Grey Cup, why weren't you playing Half Time? You guys rock! It's awesome to be from the same music scene as you boys! Glad to see you're doing well!

[34neabsey]

@TheSerpentineGunners Maybe for the 100th Grey Cup next year it will mean much more then 99

[Devilsean]

Great performance at the Grey Cup.

[jessie442889]

Today in my art class this guy had his iPod on shuffle in a dock, we were all listening to his songs. The whole classroom was slient when this song came on, nobody knew who the hell this band was. I shouted "Whistleblower!? Omg I love The Arkells!" and broke the awkward silence & everyone stared at me.

[silvercivik]

@jessie442889 Cool story bro!

[Extravaganzis]

@jessie442889 you should tell that story at a party

[TheCanucks4eva]

@jessie442889 haha, same thing happened to me, only it was at work

[gunsofbrixtonFTW]

@jessie442889 well thats one way to do it

[skate456park]

@jessie442889 Ahah! Yeah dude! 

[TotalNeutrality]

@jessie442889 I hate that most adolescents my age listen to dubstep and pop and not rock/genuine music that takes heart and skill.Most teens are such idiots too,but I digress.

[CreativeName96]

@TotalNeutrality I agree with what your saying, but i can tell your trying to sound older than you are. It makes you sound pretentious, cuz lets face it; who the hell says adolescent lol

[TotalNeutrality]

@CreativeName96 I'm 14(very close to 15 now). I have nothing to hide and,yes, I say adolescent. I just don't want to sound as stupid as the rest of my somewhat pathetic age-group.

[thisisAB]

@TotalNeutrality to be fair there's a lot of good dubstep out there and it takes skill to make, obviously not the same way as playing a guitar but possibly even harder to figure out with timing and pitch and other factors

[thedarkcanuck147]

Reminds me of Summer 2011 and the Blue Jays. Good times.

[TheDwarvishleaf]

@thedarkcanuck147 great soundtrack to a 2012 world series...

[620dark]

Sounds like Watchmen?

[QuickTuxedo]

What can I say about the Arkells..... Words do not do them justice!

[pliouso]

Friggen crazy an actually GOOD band is from my hometown, the HAMMER

[pliouso]

This song is AMAZING! LOVE the guitar riff *drool*

[coldheartedcomputer]

whos the man?



[theenigmauc]

Cant get enough of this song, because of the calgary hitmen

[Lik3aBawse]

@theenigmauc That's where I found it too

[PurdyMusic]

this band is one of my new favorite bands

i'd love to play with them musically

[romani63]

These dudes need to get big. now.

[TouchMeTherePlease]

Man I didnt know people made songs about stuff these days. This is awesome

[choman999]

The best part 2:08! What a fill

[musemaniac191]

So.. when are you coming to Europe? :D

[adc1ca]

Amazing to hear great Hamilton talent.  905 Music scene is awesome.

[Fak3Messiah]

@talflick I concur, baseball blows. But, most importantly, Arkells is awesome.

[BreakingGlass123]

[SleptWithUrWife]

@coleman2760 The Boo? Boss, Retard.

[fabfauna]

Glad to be from The Hammer, these guys represent what Hamilton really is. A rocking city.

@borgdan1234 It's great to be a Laurier Golden Hawk!!!

[borgdan1234]

@Jeffodious that show was awesome! they played my two fav songs for the encore, ironic...?

[TaffyRaphie]

bluesfest 2011 was great.

[ihatebellinternet]

102.1 needs to play this song much, much more.

[RocomSocom]

@ihatebellinternet and so they have!

[samin90]

@ihatebellinternet This is why I listen to Y108, I listened to The Edge for the first time in a year today and the first thing I heard was advice for 20 year-olds on dating cougars.

[TheGoddessCaroline]

@ihatebellinternet Absolutley!!! Best new song on that station. All the best Arkells!!

[newjerseydevilfan30]

THEY'RE PLAYING AT MCMASTER'S HOMECOMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thePaintedDuckling]

where is the video?!

[veggiebody]

I'm going to see you guys next week in ottawa! W00t w00t! Keep making that audible chocolate for me, guys.

[angryparrot]

@veggiebody What?! When is that happening?

[veggiebody]

@angryparrot Well, It happened tonight. Sept. 12 @ 9:30ish

[ethicomm]

This is a fantastic song. Singers voice reminiscent of Michael Hutchense maybe?

[CheesyKFC]

This is actually pretty amazing.

[stewardo]

I believe this song is better than anything on their first album. I'm glad they're not going through a sophomore slump. I am thoroughly impressed!

[LRJL12]

Really nice song ! but take a look to my channel

[iTz1993]

I will never Dine alone with DIne alone records

[jiggyy]

too short

[liammchart55]

3 people arnt whistleblowers

[grayman27]

@liammchart55 never heard this one before



[jvapa]

I can't believe a song this good had no downloads anywhere!!

[jiggyy]

@jvapa i know, i've been looking and can't find it. fuckin sucks

[jvapa]

@jiggyy I resorted to using one of those youtube mp3 converters, the quality is shitty but it's something. Man, I can't wait till their record comes out on October 18th!

>.< so far away!!!

[samjammusic]

@jvapa The fact that you are complaining about not being able to illegally download this song before its release date on the band's official page is pathetic. Show these guys a little support and actually wait and BUY the album when it comes out in October. As a musician I find this incredibly insulting. These guys are very talented and obviously you share that opinion, so show it. Wow.

[jvapa]

@samjammusic Guess it's my own fault for thinking no one would say anything about me 'illegally' downloading a song I really like, but I personally don't think it's wrong. I respect your concern so I'll have you know I did buy it on ITunes yesterday.

I support the bands I like by going to concerts, buying merch and getting their records on vinyl.

Just b/c I download a song by my own means dosn't mean I'm trying to rip them off, I just really wanted this song asap. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

[teeheewootwoot]

YOU ARE FREAKKIIN AMAZIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE THIS SONG :D

[smiklc]

Love you guys...especially live!  Shows in Halifax for Alexander Keith's bday and at Ottawa Bluesfest rocked. Looking forward to your album and your single Whistleblower kills!

[PatDescMusic]

Never disappoint.

[iFly555]

loved this band ever since their John Lennon track!

+kabillions for Canadian Music Scene

[gembaby267]

These guys were absolutly AMAZING at the festival of friends on saturday!!!! Love the Arkells!!!!! <3

[AlannahClaire]

Wow, they're getting better and better.

[Crim247]

sickkk song

[taylorjonez]

whistle blower: an informant who exposes wrongdoing within an organization in the hope of stopping it; "the law gives little protection to whistleblowers who feel the public has a right to know what is going on"

[GoldenDave]

This song is being looped in my appartment for a couple of days, thanks to the Jays commercial. You know you love your baseball team when they even deliver awsome music in their ads.

[WazzTheSecond]

@GoldenDave I saw that ad and I flipped out because it was so cool! Not because I love the Jays, but because I love the Arkells. Lol

[macw86]

awesome song guys. i love it. best song out right now.

[100TheCab]
