The Arrivals are a four piece from Blue Island, Illinois, Southside of Chicago. They write songs about everything and nothing, sometimes all at once. They sound like Mission of Burma trying to write Kinks songs, though most people have their own f-ed up description that may be just as valid. They've toured with Dillinger Four(with whom they now share a bass player), The Soviettes, Toys That Kill, Rise Against, Tiltwheel, Vena Cava, Grabass Charlestons, and The Lawrence Arms.

Even before having started producing his very own albums, he has contributed to Cheryl Wheeler's gigs and CD's. The songs he writes are deeply personal, many are also political (this meaning left-winged). His music style is a mixture of folk and melodic pop (with bluegrass elements).
