The Arquettes

About Me

Hello, we're the Arquettes, we're from worcester and we write songs about going to the seaside. We formed in summer 2006 whilst watching england get mullered in the world cup. Bravo joined a few months later after turbo shandy's in images, a bit of a wrestle and an argument with a kebab shop owner. About as rock and roll as a cup of tea with the vicar!THEY'RE CRASS, THEY'RE CRAP, THEY'RE NOT EVEN FUNNY, THEY'RE BRITAIN'S BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY- F**KING HELL- IT'S THE ARQUETTES!!! xxx
