ARRLO – ” WFTWTE “

Arrlo combines elements of pop and rock in their debut songs “LSD” and “WFTWTE.” The two songs serve as a great introduction to the band, showcasing their musical and song writing talents. Both tracks are packed with emotion and energy.

Their first release, “LSD” combines the elements of heavy drums and catchy melodies to tell the story about a toxic relationship that’s coming to a close. This song has a dance beat, but stands out with an emo sounding vocal delivery style. The song features a breakdown section with a melodic guitar solo. The chorus on this track is irresistible and definitely hooky enough to get a party singing along. I could definitely see this song becoming an anthem at live shows or college parties!

On “LSD” Arrlo says: “With lyrics that showcase a “DGAF” attitude, LSD highlights the nature of wanting your cake, and eating it, too. So much growth comes from ending toxic relationships, but some of us don’t end them because we’d rather spare someone else’s feelings. That’s when two-timing, drug use, and mentally/emotionally checking out of the relationship all together can come into play. LSD gives off mysteriously seductive energy throughout, and presents the listener with the chaotic freedom of finally finding yourself again, by putting yourself first.”

“WFTWTE” is another song about the ending of a romantic relationship, where the singer seems to take the blame. The band mentions their hometown of Riverside, California in the opening lyrics. The songs title is an acronym meaning “Waiting For The World To End.” This song has another irresistibly catchy hook line, that feels very relatable during the pandemic as the singer paints the picture of sitting alone in an apartment and waiting. The guitarist plays a quickly paced riff which serves as another hook line for this already very catchy song.

Three dudes from the coast of Ocean Grove, Tiny Giants mix their loose drum staggers with flowing bass and effect-ridden fried guitar into a psychedelia trip reminiscent of Nuggets and Back From the Grave. Tiny Giants debut release ‘You’re Too Excitable’ received rotation nationally on Triple J and ‘locally’ on Triple R and PBS. With heavy roots in psychedelic and blues Tiny Giants released their sophmore album INUEN//DOS, recorded at Jaspers house in Ocean Grove and mixed by Paul Maybury at his warehouse in Fairfield.
The three have played the first King Gizzard Gizzfest at Corner Hotel, Queenscliff Music festival and supported the likes of Cherry Dolls and The Murlocs. 2016 has seen the band tour up the East Coast of the sunburnt country and release their first single of the year ‘Suicide’ 
sees Tiny Giants change gear from their regular high energy Garage Psychedelia to a greater detail to songwriting intertwined with cruisy coastal sensibilities. 2016 will see the band release their third LP ‘Riverside’ through self run Dare Records .
