The first part of the new Arrows In Action record, called I Think I’ve Been Here Before (Side A), is a slick collection of six songs that highlight the new direction that the band took during these sessions. The band consists of Victor Viramontes-Pattison (Vocals, Guitar), Matthew Fowler (Guitar), and Jesse Frimmel (Drums), and their great chemistry of playing music together continues from their great 2023 full-length debut, Built To Last. The themes on the first part of their new album range from anxiety, to blissful romances, all the way to feelings of familiar places to help tie everything together. Arrows In Action will be supporting the new record with several new tours, including Download Festival, the resurgence of the Vans Warped Tour, and the Summer School Tour with Taylor Acorn. With tons of positive momentum going in their favor, 2025 is poised to be a big year for Arrows In Action.
