Bio

In the summer of 2007 founding members Justin Carrell (bass) and Austin Merkley (guitar) decided to leave their individual musical projects in order to collaborate on a sound that would mix
Indie music with Synthpop. With two other members they formed a band under the name Vicious Starfish and became active performers at local venues. After releasing their first album the following year, Remember to Forget, they began to search for a talented voice to polish off their developing sound. This search led them to vocalist Ashley Rae, who joined the group as their new front woman in 2009. After some line-up changes the band was completed with the recruitment of guitarist Chris Hanna and drummer Joe Irvin.
The group, now renamed The Black Arrows, released their second album in April 2010—an eight song EP entitled “We’ve Been Saying So Long For So Long.” Patterning their stage performance on the club DJ “quick mix” method, The Black Arrows begin each song of their set exactly as the last one ends, thereby creating an uninterrupted stream of danceable rhythm. With their sound now developed and their line-up now complete, the band is beginning its marketing campaign. They are currently working on their third album.
