Global Youth Punk Music Album
When was the last time a band captivated its audience with a timeless look and inner beauty that is only bestowed on the very few? The Arcadian Kicks are two girls, three boys all eighteen years old. They combine soaring melodic beauty with hard-edged sax, soulful guitar soundscapes and pounding tribal rhythms contained by a wall of sub bass.

They began their journey as school friends in classroom practise sessions and soon they were masquerading as adults to play countless gigs at the request of local Midland's promoters. They entered themselves in to the Surface Unsigned band competition where Jon Brookes (drummer with The Charlatans) was guest judge.
Although the band didn't go on to win the big prize Jon had seen enough in that short 25 minute set to ask them if they were interested in letting him go on to manage them.

In September 2007 Jon and his business partner, Ian Light, formed One Beat Media with express intention of managing only one band - The Arcadian Kicks. The following couple of months were spent honing the bands considerable live talent and recording their first demo which gives a rare glimpse of song writing partnerships in exciting early stages with the band securing the services of producer James Spencer (New Order, Electronic, Johnny Marr and The Charlatans).

At the band's request we started a monthly residency called Arcadian Kicks Club Night in a fantastic underground jazz bar called The Bash Bar in Central Birmingham. The band themselves chose to also support other local bands by asking them down to do warm up slots. Word soon spread it was the place to catch fresh new bands plus regular guest dj sets. Those allnighters have gone down in folklore with regular write ups as the highlight of the weekend in The Birmingham Mail What's On guide. We ended up having to move the venue of the club night to the larger Sunflower Lounge round the corner.

It was off the back of these gigs the band got there first big breaks when they were asked to play In The City in Manchester and they have also recently played the Isle of Wight Festival in June 2008 on The Big Top Stage with Feeder, NYPC and The Music. The band were given the accolade of the band to watch in 2008 by The Birmingham Post and they have their first tv appearance to look forward to this Summer when they are due to play live on Alan McGee's Death Disco show.

Their following and reputation grew when the band collaborated with a fresh young production company called Carefully Crafted Media who had just scooped the Music & Experimental award at the Wood Green International Film Festival in London. The result of this burgeoning partnership is the first ever Arcadian Kicks pop video for a brand new song "Standing in The Road". Filmed across three nights in the studio, in concert and on the no. 9 bus to one of their own gigs at The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham the promo shows the band at ease with their talent and hungry to prove that their growing reputation will be totally justified.

Musical influences are diverse and range from classic to contemporary with artists such as Cajun Dance Party to Zeppelin, Julie Driscoll, The Zutons, New Young Pony Club and early Fleetwood Mac being particular band favourites.
