Arcade - Calm Before The Storm
Review by Dale Pugh
Arcade's Calm Before The Storm is a refreshing entry into the indie pop genre. The album boasts a cohesive sound that is both familiar and unique, with catchy hooks and clever lyrics that will stick with listeners long after the final track ends.
The opening track "Out of Sight" sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and sing-along chorus. "Round and Round" showcases the band's talent for crafting a memorable melody, while "Foolish" slows things down with its dreamy, atmospheric sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Game", which features a driving beat and infectious guitar riff. The lyrics explore the ups and downs of relationships, with a chorus that begs to be shouted out loud.

The rawness of this Demo reveals the band's uncut musical diamonds.

They Picked the Right vocalist. Stephen Pearcy is a fucking brilliant singer. ?

In RATT, there's so many vocals/production, I've never been sure what Stephen Pearcy was doing, Shouting? Singing? I could never tell, and as said, there's so many vocals on Ratt albums, everything's so layered, it was hard for me to tell if he was actually good or what was going on.
I was surprised!

So, I commented on this video 6 years ago and I'm commenting again because this kind of musical genius is just timeless.

Fred Courys great, Never understood Cinderella just having him play on one of their last 3 albums, he could've been on.

I have seen Stephen about 5 times over the past 5 years. Does anyone know why he doesn't sing any of the Arcade songs? I mean I love Ratt but would love is he peppered a few of these great tunes in.

If I ever play bass in a band, I won’t rest until I have this one with that setup. Absolutely unreal. Puts every Ratt album to shame, and I worship most of them. I heated this CD up and burned it out.

This is balls-out rock n roll. No denying it, in fact... Ive got my balls out! - Tommy10inch

Fantastic sounding bass.
2023-04-06
somebody had to step up why not Stephen a awesome front man like him
2023-04-06
Nobody rides for free is probably his best song this is a close 2 nd great band and song
2023-04-06
Well Arcade was because of the Lead Guitarist from RATT & MSG - Michael Shekner Group also came from RATT he replaced him .
2023-04-05
Brilliant debut album, still have both Arcade CDs. Unfortunately the second album doesn't hold up to the first.

I bet you've been thinking about everything you had
When you look back now, it doesn't seem so bad
It's the same old story, never get a second chance
You should be so lucky somebody took a stance
When the nights get longer
And you're lyin' all alone
When the pain gets stronger
You gotta make it on your own
You better take it as it comes
'Cause it's never enough when you got nothin' to lose
You gotta give all you own
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
If you knew back then what you know right now
Well, it might've been easy, but you made it somehow
You fell head over heels, you were down and out
But you came back strong, from a whisper to a shout
When the nights get longer
And you're lyin' all alone
When the pain gets stronger
You gotta make it on your own
You better take it as it comes
'Cause it's never enough when you got nothin' to lose
You gotta give all you own
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
Did you do it like you should
'Cause it's never enough when you got nothin' to lose
I know you give it all you got
'Cause it's never enough when you got nothin' to lose
When the nights get longer
And you're lyin' all alone
When the pain gets stronger
You gotta make it on your own
You gotta make it on your own
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothin' to lose!
Take it as it comes
'Cause it's never enough when you got nothin' to lose
You gotta give it all you own
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
You better take it as it comes
'Cause it's never enough when you got nothin' to lose
You gotta give it all you own
When you ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
When you look back now, it doesn't seem so bad
It's the same old story, never get a second chance
