Arkells announce a fresh string of dates across the USA – The “At Your Service” Tour will kick off September 29th in Philadelphia, PA and conclude October 22nd in Los Angeles, CA. Joining them on the run will be special guest, electronic, alt-rocker Robert DeLong.
“America is a big ol’ place and we like to go as often as we can,” says Arkells frontman
Max Kerman. “We have a new record with new songs to play, but also all your
favourites – sorry, *favorites*. Arkells are here to please, and at your service. In the
tradition of the band, no two tours will be the same so come ready to be delighted. New
tricks. New songs. Same big ol’ smiles on our faces when we see you.”

There’s been no shortage of new music from Arkells over the last few years, having
released their Blink Once and Blink Twice projects, featuring collaborations with the
likes of Cold War Kids, K.Flay, Tegan and Sara, Aly & AJ and Wesley Schultz of
The Lumineers, ahead of the introduction to brand new album, Laundry Pile, due this
fall.
Their latest single, “Skin,” via Virgin Music, features a timeless summertime chorus
with big harmonies and acoustic guitars. A modern take on a classic Americana sound,
KCRW notes it boasts “shades of sunny California 90s rock station, big bold singalong
vocals celebrating the love in your life, and the drums+guitar+piano chords that wouldn’t
be out of place in a John Hughes movie.”
Much of Arkells’ most recognizable material aims to be spirited and anthemic. Ever
evolving to offer up new and unexpected songs, their Laundry Pile album is a more
personal, pensive, and reserved collection. It’s the kind of album that is one cohesive
listening experience – in keeping with the spirit of the classic singer-songwriter tradition.

About Arkells:
Hailed by The Globe and Mail as “the right kind of band for this decade,” Arkells are
widely considered one of the most passionate, exuberant and in-demand live bands
working today. They are the 2023 recipients of the JUNO Award for “Group of the
Year”– making them the most decorated act in the category, having won the honour
more than any other group. As radio mainstays, sports-sync shoe-ins and curious
students of culture, Arkells have remained ever present – building awareness and
personal community experiences around their live shows and albums at every turn. The
band’s most recognizable material aims to be spirited and anthemic, and there’s been
no shortage of new music from Arkells over the last few years – having released
their Blink Once and Blink Twice projects, featuring collaborations with the likes of Cold
War Kids, K.Flay, Tegan and Sara, Aly & AJ and Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers –
ahead of the introduction to their brand-new album, Laundry Pile, due this fall. Fearless
with their creative ambition, Laundry Pile best exemplifies what makes Arkells different.
It’s their most personal, pensive, and reserved collection of songs to date, guided by the
spirit of the classic singer-songwriter tradition. It’s the kind of album that is one cohesive
listening experience, revealing a rawness and beauty that will bring fans closer to the
band than ever before.
