West Midland heavy rockers ARROW VALLEY have just revealed their explosive new single and video, Ode (I See You) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJKpbloPV_g . This superb track is lifted from their all-consuming new EP, Embodiment, which arrives on Friday 18th October.

Although ARROW VALLEY display an array of influences, they largely take inspiration from the likes of Alter Bridge, Tremonti, and Killswitch Engage. With an impressive and absorbing sound, they forge powerhouse alternative rock vibes, underpinned by soul crushing bass lines, hard-hitting drums, and anthemic vocal lines.

Upon listening to ARROW VALLEY, you’ll hone in on their impeccable musicianship, layered dynamics and intricate structures. The band were only officially formed mid-2023, however, founding members, Arron Turner (Vocals) and Luke Hatton (Guitar), began collaborating in 2019 and 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The dynamic duo started out as studio project extensively working on the band’s debut EP, You’re Not Alone. The record landed in 2022, and throughout that year, Turner and Hatton began to work on recruiting suitable members to fulfil a complete line-up. Old friend and drummer, Mark Harris Bristow, soon joined the ranks, and was swiftly followed by Abbas Ali on bass. Earlier this year, Nicky Hughes (guitar), arrived and has helped to solidify and broaden the band’s already expansive sound.

The rising rockers have sufficiently wooed live audiences throughout the country, and the ascending quintet are now ready to step up with the release of their upcoming new EP, Embodiment, which the band have worked tirelessly on. Luke (guitarist) remarks: “I produced nearly all of our music ‘in-house’ (quite literally in my house…) with the drums being recorded and mixed by some close friends of the band at Vault Studios in Kidderminster.” Hatton goes on: “It can certainly be a double-edged sword by self-producing your music. You’re able to spend a lot more time on the finer details and go at your own pace as there’s no time or money pressures that come with paying for studio time. I’m so pleased with the sound and vibe of the record.”

With a killer EP in hand, ARROW VALLEY have crafted a record that is sure to elevate the talented rockers to a national level and beyond.
