Arlo is on it's way to save us from the bubblegum pop as of late. What Arlo does is play honest catchy rock n' roll with no hold barred. They have a guitar sound like none I have heard before. And it's been a long time since I have heard a good "woo woo woo" chorus. Arlo shows a great example of how to use this type of chorus in "Shutterbug". The band has been playing around LA for about 6 years in some form or another which would explain their mastery of the simple but extremely catchy guitar riffs. The vocals aren't even outstanding but again, they manage to use every hook in their reach. Arlo are not out to change the music world but they do provide a hooky alternative to today's crap that ends up in rotation.
