New Discovery: Military Arcade

It's been forever since I got in touch with a band who'd like me to write about them, so I'm very happy about introducing Military Arcade from Newbury, UK today.

Military Arcade was formed in 2008 by Aaron (lead vocals & bass) and Ashley (vocals & guitar) Miles and with their drummer Mark Bilton, they released a 2 track EP.

However, Mark left in 2012, so Tom Hutchings took his place and has been the drummer ever since.
Military Arcade won Best Live Act 2012 at the Exposure Music Awards in London, in 2013 they released their first full-length album Revolution Is Imminent and toured the UK.

I had a closer look (and listen) at this album and if you like rock music, you’ll definitely dig this record.  

Revolution Is Imminent offers 11 energetic, passionate tracks which make you want to jump around and flip your hair because they all sound different from each other. I’ve never heard these songs before, but when ‘The Grouch’ came up, I turned up the volume and felt like I’m at a huge concert with thousands of other people.

Aaron definitely convinced me with his vocals. He sounds great when it gets loud in ‘Reptilia’, he sounds great when it gets quiet in ‘Fountain Of Youth’, he sounds great when he screams in ‘Viva La Revolution’. I'd love to hear him do an acoustic performance though, that could be interesting!

I’d also like to talk about the intro of ‘No Money’. It’s one of those intro’s that make me want to learn how to play the guitar because it just kicks ass along with the whole song. 

This record is a win in every way, as you might have figured out I fell in love with it a little so you should go and check it out! I seriously can’t wait to see (and hear) what these guys will create throughout their career!

Revolution Is Imminent is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Deezer and Google and for those of you who still think hardcopies are cooler than digital copies, you should go here:
