Having capped off a summer of major performances, The Arkells are getting ready to hit the road with their new album, Jackson Square. Since speaking with the Hamilton band at this year's Vfest, the guys have been busily preparing for what promises to be a high energy set of live shows.

From tightly coordinated rock riffs to wandering bluesy jams, I previewed a handful of wicked new tracks at the band's record release - believe me, the Arkells are a powerhouse live act not to be missed!

And to PROVE it, I've got two tickets for one lucky reader to see the Arkells live November 6th (along with Matt Mays & El Torpedo) at the Phoenix!

These guys tore up the stage at Vfest and were barely contained by the Dakota Tavern.
