I’ll be honest, I didn’t know much about the Arkells until recently and their music is quite good.
Through COVID, the band released a couple of albums called Blink Once and Blink Twice.
I thought this was clever as they’re almost meant to be part of the same era in the band.
I’ve seen other bands where every album is kind of its own era but seeing multiple albums linked together is a nice change in pace. Especially after COVID shut down things like concerts and meetups.
happy blink twice release day!
here's an alt cover art to celebrate!

If you’ve been trying to get in and see the Arkells live in concert, you might have had to deal with a few date changes because of COVID.
That now ends as they are coming to Rogers Arena on October 25th.
And for a Rogers Arena show, the ticket prices aren’t bad at only $100 for a floor ticket.

For me, finding out about the Arkells was through their song Knocking At The Door which was released back in 2017.
I didn’t hear the song for the first time until earlier this year.
I know, I’m well out of the loop when it comes to Indie/Alt Rock but I’m slowly catching up.
If you do want to check out The Arkells in concert, you can grab tickets online or at the door.
Trust me, this is a show you’ll have no regrets seeing.
