About Me


arcs are Paul, Will, Mike and Nick. They are men. Men of Surrey and South London. Men who make MySpace-genre-defined 'Progressive/Other/Rock' music. They also enjoy playing cricket, making small talk and taking country walks. AND BEING IN A BAND!!!

They have been privileged to share a stage with the likes of The Chapman Family, Favours for Sailors, and Diagonal.

In July 2008, their debut two track demo of 'Tombs' and 'Love Comes' was awarded 'DEMO OF THE WEEK' by Organ magazine and they were 'BAND OF THE WEEK' in Room Thirteen magazine.

Their track "7844" was recently played by BBC 6Music's Tom Robinson.

Hurray!
