The Arthurs brengt het veelbelovende tweede album “Glass” uit

De alternative rockband The Arthurs komt hiermee met de langverwachte opvolger van ‘When I’m Sane’

“Het perfecte visitekaartje voor een ticket naar de grootste festivals. Into The Great Wide Open, Down The Rabbit Hole, Lowlands, Pinkpop. Gooi maar op!” – Popunie ‘When I’m Sane’ album review.

“The track is an absolute wonder, a real gem…it won’t be that much longer before the band goes international and captures their hearts….Be sure to listen to this track…it’ll be worth your while, trust me.” – It’s All Indie (UK) ‘Red Letter Days’ single review.

De Amsterdamse/Rotterdamse alternative rockband The Arthurs heeft afgelopen vrijdag (25 juni) het tweede album ‘Glass’ uitgebracht. ‘Glass’ (tien tracks) is hiermee de opvolger van debuutalbum ‘When I’m Sane’ uit 2017. Een week voor de release van ‘Glass’ werd de rockende single ‘Window’ uitgebracht, die ook op het nieuwe album te horen is. ‘Window’ was inmiddels al “Video van de Dag” bij Pinguin Radio en “Video van de Week” bij Never Mind The Hype.

De muziek van The Arthurs is te omschrijven als melodieuze, dynamische alternative rock, waarin scheurend elektrisch gitaargeweld wordt afgewisseld met melodieuze en melancholische, soms psychedelische composities. Er zijn invloeden te horen van bands uit uiteenlopende tijdperken, zoals The Doors, Nirvana, The Smiths en Pixies, maar de band onderscheidt zichzelf vooral met een eigen unieke sound en stijl.

‘Glass’ release shows:
Zaterdag 10 juli DOOR, Dordrecht (uitverkocht)
Zondag 18 juli Cinetol, Amsterdam (uitverkocht)

In november staat de band in het voorprogramma van de legendarische Engelse new wave-band Fischer-Z in De Boerderij in Zoetermeer.

Clip van de Dag: The Arthurs – Window

‘Window’ is de nieuwe rockende single van de Amsterdamse/Rotterdamse band The Arthurs. De track is vandaag onze Clip van de Dag en de vijfde single voor het tweede album ‘Glass’ van het alternatieve rockkwartet, dat aanstaande vrijdag 25 juni uitkomt.

De videoclips van ‘Red Letter Days’ (met daarin een rol voor actrice Kiki van Deursen) en ‘Something with Oceans’ waren vorig jaar al Video van de Dag bij Pinguin Radio. De band rondom zanger, gitarist en songwriter Robin den Drijver kreeg al eerder lovende kritieken uit zowel binnen- en buitenland over hun debuutalbum ‘When I’m Sane’ uit 2017 en de vorig jaar uitgebrachte vier singles voor het aankomende tweede album ‘Glass’.

Zo omschreef de Popunie ‘When I’m Sane’ als “een zeer sterk debuutalbum” en “het perfecte ticket naar de grootste festivals: Into The Great Wide Open, Down The Rabbit Hole, Lowlands, Pinkpop. Gooi maar op!” Het Britse It’s All Indie voorspelde in een recensie over single ‘Red Letter Days’ dat “het slechts een kwestie van tijd is dat de band ook internationaal de harten zal gaan veroveren”. Dat belooft dus wat voor het tweede album ‘Glass’.

De muziek van The Arthurs is te omschrijven als melodieuze, dynamische alternative rock, waarin scheurend elektrisch gitaargeweld wordt afgewisseld met dromerige, melancholische en psychedelische composities. Er zijn invloeden te horen van bands uit uiteenlopende tijdperken zoals The Doors, Nirvana, The Smiths en Pixies, maar de band onderscheidt zichzelf vooral met een eigen unieke sound en stijl.

De release van ‘Glass’ wordt gevierd met twee releaseoptredens. De show in Cinetol Amsterdam op zondag 18 juli 2021 is inmiddels uitverkocht. Voor de release show in DOOR (Dordrecht) op zaterdag 10 juli, zijn nog enkele plaatsen beschikbaar.

The Arthurs staat bekend om zijn strakke en energieke liveshows, dus ga deze unieke band beluisteren op Spotify, ga deze band zien de komende tijd bij een van hun shows en zorg dat je een exemplaar van ‘Glass’ in handen krijgt!

The Arthurs – Something With Oceans

The Arthurs is an alternative/indie rock band from Amsterdam/Rotterdam (The Netherlands), formed around Dutch singer/songwriter Robin den Drijver. The band distinguishes itself by its’ own unique style and sound. Listening to their melodic, dynamic, raw, beautiful, aggressive, dreamlike and always heartfelt music, will be worth your while.

 

Their debut album ‘When I’m Sane’ (2017) received positive Dutch press reviews, like the Popunie describing it as a ‘very strong debut and the perfect ticket to the biggest festivals.’ Den Drijver recorded almost all of the instruments on the album himself in his living room, accompanied by drummer Jetske Blonk.

 

Anno 2020, the lineup includes drummer Blonk, lead guitarist Dylano Hahury and bass player Martin Memelink. The band is currently recording their second album, this time as a full band, which will be released December 2020.

 

The Arthurs played notable Dutch venues and festivals and shows in Belgium and England. The band was scheduled to perform on the Bevrijdingsfestival on Dutch Liberation Day in May 2020, a big festival in The Netherlands (unfortunately cancelled because of Corona). April 2021, The Arthurs will support English legendary political new wave band Fischer-Z in De Boerderij, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands.

 

December 2019, the band released their first single and video for their second album: ‘Leave this Town’. A second one, ‘Red Letter Days’, a collaboration with Dutch actress and singer Kiki van Deursen, was released February 2020. This single received positive national (for example “Video of the Day” at Penguin Radio) and international press attention, especially from UK-based reviewers, like It’s all Indie (“The track is an absolute wonder, a real gem……it won’t be that much longer before the band goes international and captures their hearts) and Nova Blog (“Their music reflects a sense of musical completeness and expressive maturity, that has few equals”).

 

A third single, ‘Void’ was released April 2020. American blogger The Static Dive described it as “the mix of reverberated, moody vocals and high volume, melodic guitars reminds me of some of the best psychedelic and goth bands of the 80’s and 90’s. There are hints of The Church, Dinosaur Jr and Bauhaus. But The Arthurs definitely put their own spin on the sound. In the end, their brand of hypnotic Rock is all their own.”

 

July 17th 2020, The Arthurs released a fourth single and music video: “Something with Oceans”.

 

The Arthurs show their ambition with a strong live performance, like the Dutch Jitters Blog mentioned in their Westerpop Festival review, calling them ‘a unique indie rock band, different from others, that grabbed our attention to the stage immediately’ and is often predicted a great future.
