Track from the album Themes From Blizzard, released February 3, 2019
Who are Arrest! Charlie Tipper?
A - The band began life in 2013 as The Charlie Tipper Experiment, releasing the debut album “Mellow On” and a couple of terrific singles. In 2015 they gained a new member and changed their name to The Charlie Tipper Conspiracy, embarking on a 6-track mini-album “Ten” and a series of EPs which culminated in the release of the 2018 compilation “The Astonishing Rise of Charlie Tipper”, which received some great reviews in the online music press.
In 2018 the band recognised the addition of a seventh member by changing their name again, the “Arrest” in the current moniker being a nod towards their (now arrived!) forthcoming movie soundtrack “Themes from Blizzard”, a story of various lives (criminal and otherwise) which come together in a snowbound motel during a fierce blizzard.
The band mixes the personal and the political to good effect, always with a melody and bringing noise or quiet as required. The influences of the American avant guard can be found, with the likes of the Velvet Underground, Galaxie 500, the Go-Betweens and Shack, all to be found mixed in amongst the real originality of their songs and sound.
