A.R.E. Weapons

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Bassist Matthew McAuley, synthesizer player Thomas Bullock, guitarist Ryan Noel and vocalist Brain F. McPeck formed A.R.E. Weapons, a New York City-based group that began to generate a stir within underground circles in 2001 for their aggressive, confrontational shows and their buzzing and willfully ramshackle electro-rock. During a visit to New York, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker heard the band and encouraged Rough Trade's Geoff Travis to sign them. He obliged, and the band's debut single, Street Gang, was out by the end of July 2001. A second single, {^New ...[more]

 

 

RESTOCK. A.R.E. Weapons is a NYC trio consisting of Matthew McAuley, Brain F McPeck, and manager/musician Paul Sevigny. The Weapons have been making tracks and playing incendiary live shows in and around the downtown NYC slum set. Throwing parties/showz that draw crazers of all sorts (drug addicts, gallery owners, actress people, model things, fashion dorks, music nerds, criminals, and ultimately the police), the Weapons have inevitably earned a reputation for being wild and bold with the balls to back i   [ read more ]

RESTOCK. The third and arguably most thrilling Rough Trade Records band to break out of New York City after The Strokes and Moldy Peaches. A.R.E. Weapons are Suicide's first album with sci-fi effects, Cabaret Voltaire and The Normal mixed up with Sol Yurick's 'The Warriors' -- this is dirty, raw, 6" gold blade, ghetto sci-fi scraped straight out of the NYC gutters.

For all of the recklessness and curled lip swagger that NYC's A.R.E. Weapons try to inject into their appropriately titled Modern Mayhem, there's just something missing to really sell the guys as being any sort of company you'd want for a night of questionable decisions on the Lower East Side.

The follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut for Rough Trade, the NYC 4-piece who emerged in 2003 with the sound and look that the masses wanted, namely ant-indie 'rawk' with headbanging and drugs and a little evil. This new set is more polished without losing any sin... a great follow-up.
