I did an artist profile on The Arrival. You can check it out on my blog. Here's an excerpt. Full thing here http://muzikdizcovery.blogspot.com/
The Arrival is a 5 piece pop/rock band from Madison, Alabama. They have released one EP, Believe The Hype, and several unreleased songs. They also have one song on the Rockin Romance compilation which I have already reviewed. Additionally they released an acoustic version of Forget About The Forecast on itunes. They have definitely changed their style from the EP to their other songs. Their EP was much more electric than their newer stuff. Is This What You Call Love? is full of synthesizers with the drums in the background. There is very little guitar throughout the whole song. Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is has the synthesizers as the melody but uses more guitar as the beat. The chorus definitely shows their excellent lyrics. Their phrase "Time is money, and I'm gonna spend it all on you" uses figurative language to express the song's meaning. The acoustic version of Forget About The Forecast, released after the EP, showed little change in their electro-rock style. The acoustic guitar went along with synthesizers extremely well. This is one of their best songs. The chorus again shows great lyrics and great meaning. However, all the EP songs had a similar style.
