The Poison Arrows

The Poison Arrows have a somewhat complicated, two-part history. The initial, more pop-oriented music group produced in 1996 in Knoxville, TN, being a transitional task between two additional, better-known rings. Guitarists Jason Morris and Justin Sinkovich experienced just emerge from the alt-rock clothing Thumbnail, and bassist Scott Westmoreland and drummer Ben Martin had been friends from the neighborhood scene. Even though band recorded a complete album’s well worth of tunes in 1996 and 1997, Sinkovich thought we would proceed to Chicago and begin a new music group, the epic post-rock clothing Atombombpocketknife. These recordings continued to be unreleased until 2001, if they had been released beneath the Poison Arrows name by Audio on Audio Information. When Sinkovich split up Atombombpocketknife in 2004, he re-adopted the name the Poison Arrows for make use of in his fresh sideline career like a remixer; some single electronic experiments made an appearance on numerous compilations around that point aswell, before Sinkovich released the debut EP Truck Park later on that year. Pursuing that launch, Sinkovich formed an effective music group, adding bassist Patrick Morris (previously of post-rock stalwarts Don Caballero) and drummer Adam Reach (who also takes on with Sinkovich’s aged Atombombpocketknife bandmate Che Arthur) and documenting new materials. Eclectic remixes of the brand new band’s basic songs by artists which range from Suicide’s Martin Rev to Califone’s Brian Deck had been released in 2006 as the download-only collection Premix. The Poison Arrows’ personal final versions of these tracks had been released as the EP Directly into the Drift in March 2007.
