New Music First! I Am Arrows
While you may not be familiar with the name I Am Arrows, you will probably recognise their frontman. Andy Burrows was previously the drummer in Razorlight, however, after announcing his departure from the band due to “personal reasons” Burrows quickly moved to form a new band, I Am Arrows. The path from drum stool to frontman is not a well worn one. With the exception of Dave Grohl and (ahem) Phil Collins there aren’t many drummers who have successfully made the leap to the microphone. However, Burrows has proven an exception to the rule. After all, the former sticksman co-wrote a number of Razorlight’s biggest hits – including the UK #1 America.
I Am Arrows have written a clutch of breezy West Coast Americana inspired tracks and will be touring across the UK in September, check their MySpace now for more info. For a preview of their live show, see the above video of the band performing ‘The Us’ at London’s Old Blue Last. Their debut album ‘Sun Comes Up Again’ is released on 16th August and is available to pre order on Amazon.
