The Arrival

HQ: Madison, AL NOW PLAYING: Believe The Hype EP THE STORY SO FAR: All you bands who met while skateboarding after school, the Arrival trump you. "We've been playing music together since we were tikes playing pogs on the streets," says guitarist/programmer Chris Kutsor. By 2005, they had a solid grasp of slammers and melodic pop ethos. The electronic-tinged quartet recorded an EP with producer Matt Goldman (Underoath, Copeland) and collected accolades--including a finalist spot in the Verizon Wireless "Calling All Bands" competition. WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: The Arrival blend legit pop with dance anthems without relying on tired, hipster formulas. "We aren't like those trendy, over-produced, electronic pop groups," says Kutsor. "We make you dance without singing about it." Although they released their addictive second EP, the Arrival know their live show is what'll grab you. "We'll get you so hype, you won't know what to do but bounce like a Super Ball," says Kutsor. "The 75-cent ones, not the small, 25-cent ones." YOU LIKE?
