Our tale begins some time ago, when a group of unknowing teenagers were drinking rum on a Costa Brava beach. As the night went on and more liquor was consumed, the youths decided to dig in the sand. Nobody could have predicted that this digging would change their lives forever. ÊThey had stirred a beast. Consumed by the spirit of their find, the group would return with it to the North of England, slaves to its spirit. Compelled to feed the creature with reggae beats for years to come, inspired by the likes of Fat FreddyÕs Drop, The Clash, and Bedouin Soundclash.

?Arkham Karvers? is their latest offering - a self-titled ?3P? cooked up in 2Fly studios in March 2014, with Alan Smyth. Richer, bassier and more nutritious than ever before. Best served with a slice of fried gold.

Arkham Karvers are Dave Gash (Guitar and Vocals), Greg Smith (Guitar and Backing Vocals), Mark Lane (Guitar and Backing Vocals), Elliot Smith (Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals) and Joshua Reddy (Drums). They are based in various locations around the North-West, including Liverpool, Buxton, and Warrington.
