Arkells formed nine years ago and have since become one of Canada’s most successful rock bands. Their most recent album, High Noon, landed at #1 on the Canadian iTunes chart and debuted at #3 on the overall Canadian Neilsen Soundscan. It was certified Gold in summer 2015.
High Noon is produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, The Kooks, M83), and includes the band’s #1 hit single “Leather Jacket”. This collection of songs is the band’s most unabashed effort yet – politically charged, heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics, combined with modern and throwback production styling.
At the 2015 JUNO Awards in Hamilton, Ontario, Arkells won ‘Rock Album of the Year’ for High Noon and ‘Group of the Year’. Arkells have since been named the most played band on Alternative radio in Canada for 2015.
Arkells have also won JUNO Awards for ‘New Group of The Year’ in 2010 and in 2012 they won ‘Group of the Year’.
