Arkells

Arkells are a dynamic Canadian rock band that hails from Hamilton, Ontario, famed for their energetic live performances and a resonant brand of heartland rock mixed with pop hooks and soulful melodies. Formed in 2006, the quintet named themselves after Arkell Street in the Westdale neighborhood of their home city, where they had their first rehearsals. Composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Max Kerman, guitarist Mike DeAngelis, bassist Nick Dika, drummer Tim Oxford, and keyboardist Anthony Carone, Arkells have steadily ascended the ladder of Canadian music notoriety, earning multiple JUNO Awards and crafting a sound that's both anthemic and accessible.

The band's recent releases continue to showcase their evolution as songwriters and musicians, fusing introspection with external commentary. Singles like "Laundry Pile" and "Skin" extend the band's introspective narrative, introducing a poignant vulnerability to their sound. "Dance With You," "Teenage Tears," and "Human Being" demonstrate their penchant for infectious melodies, while the "Blink Twice" album and its accompanying session reflect a consolidation of their broad-ranging musical influences. With "Past Life" and "Reckoning," Arkells delve into reflective and storytelling lyrics, establishing themselves as one of the most compelling and consistent forces in the contemporary rock music scene. Their work is characterized by an unwavering commitment to authenticity and a relentless pursuit of musical excellence, which has endeared them to a growing base of fans across Canada and beyond.
