SXSW 2009 SHOWCASING ARTIST - Cedar Street Courtyard - Thursday, March 19 - 8:30 p.m.
Sharing a love of the kind of raw, soulful Springsteenesque rock that inspires a teen to pick up a guitar and start a band, the Arkells formed in Hamilton, ON, in 2006. The ambitious and prolific five-piece quickly found its groove, and recorded debut EP Deadlines in 2007. From the strum of the first track, the six-song EP showcased the Arkells masterful blending of traditional blues hooks mixed with modern rock-laden riffs, and a touch of classic Motown era rhythms. Their catchy melodies and unbridled energy live garnered critical acclaim with NOW Magazine describing the Arkells as having an awesome muscular quality that sets it apart from the output of so many of their sad-sack indie rock peers

@demmylowther get a grip dude...listen to their whole body of work...not in such a hurry to get the next one out? this albums been out for 2 years...their lyrics fit perfectly with their band philosophy and ideals...fun rock music for the working class with genuine story telling...I'm not sure what you percieve them to be but its not like they're gonna turn themselves into a lyrically driven band, theyre a young bunch of energetic lads at the height of their career, let them have that right now
