The noises empty factories make.

Hello! We’re a band called Arbor Lights, though you probably already know that since you found our little corner on the web.

We’re an instrumental band from Birmingham, in the UK. It’s not quite the glacial beauty of Iceland, but it’s alright.

Usually being an instrumental band means two things: either we can’t sing, or we won’t, and we are definitely the former. Sometimes we play pretty loud, and sometimes we play pretty soft. We’re named after the bar where we first met, and hopefully they won’t sue us for royalties.

Most of all, we hope you like our music.


Described by BBC Introducing's Gary Crowley as 'epic, big sounding, widescreen pop-rock', the bedroom hour are Stuart Drummond - Vocals, Rob Payne - Guitar, Andy Copper - Bass, Mark Dudley - Keyboard and Lewis Cosham - Drums.




For a band built around the idea of slacker syntax, Bad Grammar rock a tight set. Following in the footsteps of their northern pioneers before them, Bad Grammar channel the same grunge snarls as Pulled Apart By Horses and Drenge.

Debut EP ‘Forced Fun’ fell into the hands of party punk king Andrew WK, who selected the band to perform as part of 2014’s Y Not Festival. With lead single ‘Temper Temper’ clocking over 25,000 Vevo views, it’s not surprising the pair have already picked up coverage from XFM, 6Music and Radio 1, along with recent new music features in NME, Clash and Artrocker. 

Kicking out witty commentary on metabolism breakdowns and pop culture 101, Bad Grammar are top of the class.

“A blend of grunge and punk reminiscent of Fugazi and Shellac that puts many of the current wave of musical duos to shame" - The Ruckus

"Guaranteed to get the music-bods talking with their gloriously grimy racket" - The Tipping Point
