At first glance, one might expect this trendy-styled quartet of young rockers to sound like most of the punk-emo, screamo bands that dominate the scene today but this is not the case at all. What Ark Peninsula does is refreshingly unique without trying too hard to be so.
The Ark Peninsula style is not punk or emo in the slightest and is in fact more in the vein of alternative acts such as Breaking Benjamin or Incubus rather than bands like Fallout Boy and 30 Seconds to Mars. This goes to show that appearances can be deceiving.
The band's songwriting and creativity transcends their youth with some fantastic musical arrangements.
Going through the Ark Peninsula song catalog is a journey through a range of song styles and emotion that is aptly done.
One problem with many bands that this band avoids fairly successfully is coming off insincere. Listening to Ark Peninsula, you get a sense that every word being said is coming from the heart and not something that was thrown down on a piece of paper in five seconds.
There is a certain style that the band is going for with the music that at times overshadows the meaning of the songs. This is a natural defect of writing to fit a certain sound instead of going free-form with how it feels right.
All and all, Ark Peninsula is a great choice for rock fans who want a taste of modern rock in the Rock and Roll City. - Robert Rozboril Examiner.com

Bio
Ark Peninsula was founded by Adamo Fiscella in early 2008 in Cleveland, Ohio. Ark Peninsula built itself from the ground up with the help of no one except the members themselves. Although having many influences, the unique sonic delivery of Ark Peninsula is parallel to none. With the use of many synthetic and acoustic elements, Ark Peninsula delivers a very distinctive sound with all the catchiness of the mainstream but without the predictability. The subject matter, lyrically, remains dignified and poetic without trendy ideas and typical heartbreak stories. There is only so much that words can say. The music speaks for itself.
We share the sounds of 30 seconds to mars, Attack Attack, Chevelle, Killswitch engaged, and Deftones. We can play with the best rock bands out there!
