Maybe it's because I've just watched Camp Rock, but To Arms Etc are sounding very like a bastard mix of Kids From Fame, The Fray, Gay Dad (they haunt me!) and some chemical or other. It's a strange recipe, but these are strange times and strange times foster strange.... recipes (hmmm, I made a circle).
Signed to Bronzerat Records, home of Seasick Steve and the lovely Trost, To Arms Etc produce a wonderfully euphoric and fun sound. Yes, fun, remember that one? Often best avoided as FUN can often translate to SHIT, on the ocassions when a sense of 'just doing it for the sake of it', 'knocking some ideas about' or even 'pissing about in the studio for want of anything else to do' comes off, it's always a pleasure.
Whether there's an albums worth of fun in the bag remains to be seen, but for the time being the three tracks on Myspace (all that seems to be around at the moment) are worth a tickle. Looking out for more.
