Rock Indie New Wave
About Us:
With only a handful of songs and a
million ideas, Liz, John and Mike
wanted to start playing music together
again after their last efforts were
cut short. Forming in late 2009, they
asked some good friends of theirs who
they shared the stage with in the past
to complete the line up.
The group is now known as Russian Arms
and Optics; Liz on vocals, Mike on
organ/synth, John on bass, Phil on
synth, Robby on drums and Felix on
guitar.
They recorded and released a four-song
demo within the first few months of
being together. With only 100
pressings, and limited internet
exposure, the demo songs caught the
attention of promoters nationwide, and
JMD Records. After inking a
distribution deal with
JMD/INgroove/Universal, the band has
gone back into the studio to record
their debut EP release, "So Close yet
so Foreign".
Creating upbeat indie rock with a mix
of dance and pop sensibility, the
group creates heavy hooks that will
get stuck in your head long after your
first listen. Pulling influences
everywhere from Karen Carpenter to
Karen O., Russian Arms and Optics
mixes indie/dance/pop with organ and
synth sounds hanging in the
backgrounds.
To catch their live show is to
experience an energy and love for
music that you won't find many other
places.

Thanks for adding us. The
Season is a solid song!
Two sides of musical and
literal mortality.
"Always in conflict, I am
never in balance, I have
the fear of life - the
value of life, ever
ending cycle of life." If
you've ever gained
strength from living life
in the shadows, then
check out our new multi
genre videos "Ever Ending
Cycle Of Life..." (the
Fear of Life) & (the
Value of Life). Let us
know what you think of
them [be kind]. Thanks,
Paul.
Nice to meet you. "The
Season." Exciting Cool
Rock! Great Song, Sound,
Style and Very Awesome
Vocals! We are primarily
songwriters and would be
proud if you'd ever want
to cover any song in our
catalogue (Davies Dawn
Music, BMI). Paul, your
fan from Future Now.
TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main
stations, it has stations
for each of the states
individually, 75
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, though,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.
We dig hearing your songs
in IMRadio's radio
rotation! Thanks for
supporting our new radio
station! Peace, Veronica
