Biography
The Ar-Kaics (pronounced: R-K-X) take their cue from the first wave of ‘60s punk — American teenagers taking cues from the British Invasion, in turn taking cues from pilfers of the hinterland originators — with the added vantage of several subsequent decades worth of wayward balladeers, no names and psychedelic rock hangovers.
The band have delivered their off-brand, spot-on garage rock originals for over a decade now, via a flood of small-press singles, two albums and a pandemic-prompted live record. Their 3rd album, See the World on Fire, came out this May on Feel It (US) & Bachelor Records (EU). Equal parts southern gothic and garage psych, it’s a spirited trip to the brink and back.
