Arrows in Action are back with another all-too-catchy tune, “Head In The Clouds” out today. The track stands out among their previous releases as a warm, sunny, feel-good anthem just in time for summer.

They certainly have a sound that derives itself from classic pop-punk acts, but the band is willing to explore outside of that box. They blend pop-punk and alternative rock with a… Read more »

It is a special thing when two bands come up in the music industry together. Typically sharing interests, music styles, and simply having a good time together, these ‘buddy bands’ support each other’s endeavors and often cross paths in more ways than one. Whether it be a split release, a tour, or a feature, two bands with a strong friendship will find a way to work together. Wavves and Cloud Nothings are a great example of this. Back in 2015, they released the collaborative album, No Life for Me, and have shared the stage together numerous times. Wavves and Cloud… Read more »
