Arbelos plays folk rock with science fiction and space travel themes. The band was formed in 2007 by long time friends Mark Toner and Noel Chidwick, both astronomers, who produced the album Portraits in Stone in early 2008.

Formed in Nottingham not very long ago, it's members from all over the world - the British world at least - The Charm Offensive are an alternapoprock trio that sound like noise and distortion desperately trying to disguise a tune; like a melody that wants to love you and hurt you at the same time.
