We are happy to premiere the video for ‘Sequins,’ the new single from Arguer. Started as a welcome escape amid the chaos of 2020 by old friends Shane Sanderson (vocals, guitar) and Adam Lewis (drums), the weekly jam session quickly developed into a set of songs that blend a shared love for big riffs, bigger choruses and satisfying vocal hooks.Something that becomes obvious right away when you check out the duo’s new single.

"We've wanted to work together on a project for a long time," explains Shane (lead vocals, guitars)."When we finally got the chance to write some songs together, we knew from the first session we were on to something, and the recordings have really brought those ideas to life."

With a shared passion for the heavy, the melancholy and the occasional unexpected time change, the pair have created an original sound that reflects the myriad of influence that inspire it – from the heavier end of the spectrum (think TOOL, Deftones, Glassjaw, At The Drive In), through pop-punk (The Story So Far, Alkaline Trio, The Menzingers, Paramore) to the more ambient (The Midnight, The 1975, Whitney Houston - seriously).

Catching the attention of independent label Real Ghost Records, the pair are now completing work on their debut EP, due to be released Summer 2021, and are confident that the songs offer a well-rounded introduction to the ARGUER sound – a bit heavy, a bit quiet, a bit poppy, but packed full of hooks and satisfying foot-tapping moments.
