Description: The Arkells' are gearing up for the release of their first full-length album titled Jackson Square to be released October 28, 2008 on Dine Alone. Featuring undeniably catchy tracks like "Oh, The Boss Is Coming," "No Champagne Socialist," and "Ballad of Hugo Chavez," Jackson Square captures the essence of the band's hard-hitting live show and their boundless passion for making meaty, rootsy rock that any listener can relate to. ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Band Members: Max Kerman (vocals, guitar), Mike DeAngelis (vocals, guitar), Dan Griffin (vocals, keyboard, guitar), Nick Dika (bass), Tim Oxford (drums, percussion) 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..." Since the release of Deadlines the band has traveled across Canada sharing stages with Bedouin Soundclash, Matt Mays & El Torpedo, Sam Roberts Band, Constantines, Alexisonfire, and City and Colour. More recent performances include a stint opening for legendary rockers Black Crowes, MTV Live and V-Fest. With live shows fueling the buzz created by the EP, the band quickly caught the ear of Dine Alone Records (home to City and Colour, Bedouin Soundclash, Attack in Black and Black Lungs) who re-released Deadlines digitally in March 2008.

Two, most bands place fashion over great songwriting. Three, most bands think production trumps heart. But then, House of Heroes is not most bands. And if you had to pick three characteristics to describe this, their opus, you would have to say it is fearless, uncompromising, and heartfelt. Because Suburba is an album like nothing else you will hear today. And for that fact alone, it is a victory of epic proportions. Endlessly poppy, galactically ambitious, and dripping with honest, candid emotion, this is what a rock record is supposed to sound like. This is what a rock record is supposed to feel like. Harkening back to days when music was wide-eyedand meant a whole lot more. Think classic Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, The Who, E.L.O. with a touch of Meatloaf. That's right, Meatloaf. Broad and anthemic at certain moments, yet vulnerable and intimate at others. There are driving, heavytracks, as well as harmonic ballads. "This record is about growing up in middle class suburbia," states Skipper. "It's aboutfighting for your own identity in the face of society's ideas about love, money, religionand power. It's about having big dreams and going after them with reckless abandon,yet having to reconcile the fact that things aren't always going to go your way. And it'sabout realizing, throughout all of it, that God is real and is the one constant among allthe variables of life."
