Arkells<\/strong> release their first-ever penned holiday original song Pub Crawl<\/em><\/strong>,<\/a> an Amazon Original via Universal Music Canada, the country\u2019s leading music company. A celebration about an annual festive pilgrimage, the track takes listeners on a bit of journey \u2013 just like a proper pub crawl.<\/h4>\n

\u201cEvery year my hometown pals get together for a 12 Pubs of Christmas style tradition<\/em>,\u201d band frontman, Max Kerman<\/strong>, explains while reflecting on the time they reconnect with friends and family and get into the holiday spirit. Recognising there are not a ton of relatable holiday songs, Arkells<\/strong> come out swinging, on this instant sing-along that will speak to music fans more than We Three Kings.<\/p>\n

Pub Crawl<\/em><\/strong> is one of many Amazon Original holiday songs announced yesterday by emerging and chart-topping artists from all around the world as part of Amazon Music\u2019s holiday campaign. Other top artists who released Amazon Original holiday songs today include Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, Mary J Blige, Lennon Stella and more.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Arkells<\/strong> leaked Pub Crawl<\/em><\/strong> to various pubs and bars across Canada in order to encourage fans to visit their local watering holes (following proper COVID guidelines and with social distancing measures in place) and support local if they wanted to hear an advanced spin of the song. For a full list of participating pubs\/bars, watch the teaser about the initiative posted on the band\u2019s socials HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2020, Arkells<\/strong> took a pause from working on their upcoming studio album and went back to their roots, reinterpreting past material and rediscovering the singer-songwriter spirit with their latest project Campfire Chords<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Campfire Chords<\/em> is a stripped back collection featuring 17 of Arkells<\/strong>\u2019 most beloved songs plus new tracks A Little More<\/a><\/em> and Quitting You<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
