A band that has influences from the '80s is Arcanum, a great pop electronica band from Georgia. Arcanum started three years ago with an ad that read "Producer looking for vocalist. Music infl. Duran, Lyrical infl. Depeche Mode." How more '80s can you get than that?
Their first CD, the 15-song
The Spoken Scream has won many a favorable review (including mine!) in both Internet and paper magazines and radio, including reaching #6 in Lithuania. Don't get the idea that Arcanum is "stuck" in the '80s; Garbage is one of their favorite bands.
Brett Schieber and Shaz make the two man team that does everything on their own-promotion, music, lyrics, production. They have, in recent months, received a number of deals that they are mulling over.
Their
Official Page should keep us updated as well as their fan pages like
Arcanum's Eerie Relection Page or
Arcanum Page. These pages also have updated news, downloadable tracks, lyrics, links, review sites and how to request them.
Arcanum also has
The Visual Scream, their video set that includes "Rhythm is a Sadist," "Love Like a Loaded Gun," and "Masochist." TVS also shows Brett and Shaz live plus in interview. Cool! There is an
Interview No Mercy for Virgin Soil.
Arcanum has also completed a few indie movie projects that broaden their range and gave them more in-depth experience of the music business. Check out the
Official Page and see what's up with Arcanum. Get to know this band before they become the next big band.
