Arkells to Play Several Marquee Festivals this Summer Including Coachella, Shaky Knees, Sasquatch!, Bunbury Festival and More
19 April 2017 (Toronto, ON) – Today, Arkells release their latest video for their new single “Knocking At The Door”.
The band debuted the track earlier this month via Universal Music
Canada, the country’s leading music company, as a surprise release for
fans. Already climbing the charts, the track has been the most-added
song at Alt radio, the last 2 weeks in a row.“This is our most fierce song yet. So we needed a fierce video. We recruited our talented friends SHANE&mark to make the video and they nailed it. Our audience has embraced this new tune, and it’s a thrill for the band to release a video that further elevates the song,” says frontman Max Kerman.
“All the old Arkells fans like it because I scream a bit, and new Arkells fans like it because it’s also kinda modern and poppy. We like it because it’s the most adventurous and exciting thing we’ve done yet. Who knew we could have such a fun ride with one surprise song.”
Co-inciding with the launch of the regular baseball season, “Knocking At The Door” is featured in a new Budweiser/Toronto Blue Jays themed commercial running now.
The video comes on the heels of Arkells weekend one performance at Coachella. The band will be performing this Saturday at weekend two of the festival. Known for their relentless touring schedule, the band’s festival plays have the industry taking note – Arkells are featured on the cover of the current issue of the industry trade publication Pollstar, who echos, “The four-time Juno winners have made an impression with festival bookers this year.”
Since the release of Morning Report, Arkells have spent much of the year touring, playing some of the biggest festivals in the U.S., including Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo; building their audience and solidifying their reputation as a passionate, high-energy, live-rock authority. In addition to performing at the 2017 JUNO Awards earlier this month, where they were nominated for Group of The Year and Rock Album of The Year. This summer, Arkells are slated to play a host of marquee festivals including Shaky Knees, Bunbury, XPoNential Festival, Osheaga and Mo Pop, and they have a sold-out show with July Talk at Budweiser stage in Toronto on June 24.
