Lewin Cantor (guitar, vocals), Fergus Walsh (bass) and Joel Shooter (drums) definitely look the part—mini Noel Gallagher hairdos, skinny jeans, Chuck Taylors.
But, can the Lancaster, England natives—all under 20 years old—make good music?
You'll be able to decide for yourself at 12:30pm Sunday, August 24, when Ark performs the Real to Reel Stage at the West End Celebration in Sand City. The show is part of the outfit's first U.S. tour ever
In the meantime, here's a little Ark background and sampling:
Ark's story begins three years ago with three teenagers meeting in a garage for a casual jam session. Armed with the apparent influences of Radiohead, Muse and ’90s American grunge, the laid back jams quickly gained momentum, which lead to a well-oiled and structured machine.
The group's take on prog-rock meets alt-rock helped earn a victory at a local battle of the bands competition.
In 2013, Ark released its five-track self-titled EP and have plans to release a full-length debut in the near-future.
Now, the band is taken its music across the Atlantic.
Another up-and-comer to check out at this year's West End Celebration is Lia Rose, who performs the main stage at 1pm.
