Stream: Arcane Roots – Blood & Chemistry

Listen to it now...

Britain doesn't do rock music, not really.

It's an art form best practised by our American cousins, whose ability to surrender themselves to the power chord far exceeds that dry British reserve.

Arcane Roots, though, would beg to differ. The Surrey trio are steeped in the free form ideas of post-hardcore, the electric imagination of, say, At The Drive-In.

Alongside this, the band have a clear urge to reach out, to get their music heard. There's a Biffy Clyro comparison to be made here, of a group who – through their own blood, swear and tears – can move beyond the boundaries placed in their way.

Debut album 'Blood & Chemistry' promises to be a pivotal moment for the group. Out next Monday (May 6th) the album is full of unabashed, unreserved rock thrills – a potent, powerful document of a band on the rise, it matches the unbridled energy of their live show to a mature control of the studio.
