The Arrogants
Label: ShelflifeGenre: Pop
What's in a name? Well, first of all, it's the most important step in forming a band. There's making lists and researching and polling and arguing; it's more intense than naming your child. Our cat is actually named what was the #2 (hence, losing) name on the list for the last band I was in. Second, it's gotta be something that's gonna catch your target audience. You know, ska bands incorporate the word "ska" into their names, metal bands use words linked with death, and whatnot. So the name is going to be descriptive. The Arrogants, however, really don't follow that. Based on the name, the casual reader would think they were a British glam band, when in actual fact, The Arrogants play delightful pop, some bouncy, some happy, some folksy. Although perhaps that's their secret; it's takes a little cockiness, some arrogance, to make pop this good. Their new album You've Always Known When Best To Say Goodbye features 23 songs, and their previous two albums are available for free download from their site.
