Arch

Arch formed circa 2002 in Louisville, KY. Combining members from Adaptor and Kinghorse, the band immediately set out upon a sonic quest. In April 2005 the band underwent its only line-up change and was sidelined for one week before returning to the stage. Former drummer Alex Rose now plays bass, leaving the throne to worthy newcomer Andy Cook. The sound is bigger and tighter than ever leading the band promisingly into its newest chapter of existence.
