About Me

Arch Stanton in their many masterful rock adventures of the recent past have, at times, taken a few steps back to brew their craft into a perfect gravity and flavor. But now it seems, they are back in the forefront.
What started in one form as a high school garage... or in their case a "living room" band, finds itself now in a steady pursuit of musical expression. In 2000 Arch's sophomore self-titled album launched them into the Minneapolis scene as a pack of kids sporting suits and shaggy heads, strumming and screaming manic powerpop anthems.
After a few brakes, a few shows, and many songs later, they took an excursion from their home base in Minneapolis to the warm Santa Monica sun. Only to come back with an eclectic mix of memorable tunes featured in their new EP "Highland & Marine".
