London band Arcane Roots are one of the UK's hottest new rock talents, and are tipped to follow in the mighty footsteps of the likes of Biffy Clyro and Muse (who, coincidentally, they supported on their European tour earlier this summer). The band recently released their brilliant new single 'Belief' and we caught up with frontman Andrew Groves in London's Hyde Park for an acoustic performance of the track.
Speaking of the track, Groves told us: "'Belief' was really doubtful about my abilities as a songwriter and the pressure was down to me, so I struggled and stressed for a very long time. I worried so much that one day I woke up, had that melody in my head and I literally grabbed the nearest guitar to me and had the song worked out in five minutes."
"I ran downstairs and showed the guys. It was the first song we recorded and the first output from the new album that anyone had heard."
Arcane Roots are on the road during the remainder of 2013, both on their own headline UK and European tour and as main support for Coheed and Cambria. Tickets are on sale now. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
