        Q: For those who don’t know you, can you please introduce yourself and describe your sound?

We are The Arbuckles and we are a Pop Punk band. No not that kind of Pop Punk, and not that kind either.

People make a mistake a lot when they talk about their music influences wherein they just list off all the bands they like. I can keep it honest and say the bands I have actively and intentionally stolen riffs, melodies, and ideas from include Joyce Manor, For Science, Open Letters, and Slade. Anyone who says they don't steal is a liar or they write really boring music.

        Q: What’s one of the biggest successes you’ve had as a musician?

I can confidently guess that we are in the top 1% tallest bands in Vancouver on average.

        Q: What’s your favourite venue to play?

Green Auto outdoor stage was fun except for the fish stink but that's not their fault.

        Q: What do you think was the best Medium for music to be on? (Vinyl, Tape, CD, Digital)?

Youtube-to-mp3 rips of covers misattributed to NOFX.

        Q: Who is your favourite local band to see perform around town?

Us in a mirror.

        Q: What’s coming up next for your music?



Recording new songs and being rejected by Music Waste for a third year in a row.

Show Review - Put THAT In The Bible!

Support the Scene had the opportunity to send one of our incredibly talented photographers to see Bible Girl, Doom Loops, and Kites on Mars on November 8th, at Lana Lou's. Here's what Jade Weekes had to say about the incredible performance that these bands put on.  ♪ ♫ ♪ Bible Girl had their first show at Lana Lou's last night. Their sound was a great mix of indie rock with a touch of shoegaze. Since it was their first show, it was expected to have a couple of flubs but they carried on like the seasoned musicians they are. Many dynamic changes made their set full of unexpected energy bursts, amidst their more low-key overall sound. Keep an eye out for their upcoming single!  ♪ ♫ ♪   Doom Loops brought some tasty piano licks, soaring synths, and catchy vocals; and that was only from ONE of their members! The whole band really had tunes that were full of quirky lyrics and bass lines that made your feet just move on their own. They had great harmonies and really used ...
