Forming in Brisbane, now spread between the Northern & Southern states, Arrows are post-rock balladeers without a filter. Unconventional “rock” instrumentation over bombastic / receding harmonies. Desperately reaching vocals which roll ceaselessly between pop & depravity. Round this out with a strong DIY ethic, dive-in.

After a self-released demo in 2006, friends Carl Burnett (bass), Anders Cairns (drums) and Ant Morgan (guitar, keys, vocals) quickly added longtime buddy Scott Merillo (guitar) for a successful 12” vinyl EP in 2007. Arrows soon became a genre favorite amongst a tiny few, scattered both locally and to the faraway borders of Japan, Sweden, Canada and beyond. The debut album Modern Art & Politics then flooded onto “Best of 2008” lists here & across the globe, a record possessing an honesty that has garnered them an obsessed fanbase both in their Brisbane hometown and in underground circles worldwide. Almost two years on, Arrows have recorded Try and Stay Upright, seamlessly more dynamic and emotionally gripping than its 2008 predecessor – slower, shorter and certainly this young bands most powerful statement yet.
