Elos Arma is a band that will surprise you upon first listen. This is what happened to us when we first pressed the play button on the bands debut album "Good News For Bad People." Their mix of indie rock with a sort of electronic/keyboard element to the music was something that instantly made us think, whoa this is different. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the band has made a conscious effort that their debut "welcome to..." album would be one that has a great sound, and that they did. Now the instrumentation is nothing that will blow you away, but the keyboard addition to the music and the way they do it, brings a new element to this music. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocalist can sing which is always a plus but the lyrics here could use a bit of a touch up to really get the point of the songs across more. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Elos Arma have come out of the gate pretty well here with this album and we hope that the band keep experimenting and keep on the path they are going with this music. We would like to see the band play  more shows and just get their name out there to the masses. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
