My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/24/2005
Band Website: roxxor2.co.uk
Band Members: JamieSeanAgiDave
-Drums
Influences: Music and the mind and inner workings of Det. John McClane.
Sounds Like: "Tortured vocals, amidst a backdrop of dissonant guitars and haunting, Siren-esque backing melodies...one of the most creative and talented young hopefuls to emerge from South London’s current underground scene" - Bulletin The Head

"Powerful...atmospheric...raw, uncut...banshee hysterics on the microphone" - Ear Wax

"Loud, brooding beauty" - Tall Order/Big Sister

"This superbly crafted track explores several different genres and never looses the interest of the listener. A mini masterpiece." - Jack Sprat

"Moveitorloseit is a series of undulating guitar attacks, lush pianos, and a voice just the right side of stop-f*cking-wailing-you-c*nt." - New Noise

"UK band Arko Volcano’s first EP definatly makes for some good listening...falls outside of genres...Demonstrates a developing style within this band. I look forward to hearing future recordings."-Invalid (Australian magazine)

"Promising newcomers Arko Volcano blend elements of Smashing Pumpkins, At The Drive In and a heavy dose of indie-goth into a sound elevated by great dual lead vocals." - Black Sheep

"Comfortably eclectic music for those who want real emotion and well crafted instrumentals rather than the intensity of teenage slit wrists." - Der Schrei

"This band f*cking rocks! The musicianship just blows you away! Influenced by At The Drive-In & The Smashing Pumpkins, this comes highly recommended!" 9/10 - FFRUK

Record Label: Roxxor
Type of Label: Indie
