Rock Action

Arab Strap is an indie pop band hailing from Falkirk, Scotland. Formed in 1995, the band gained recognition for their unique blend of melancholic lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes. After a successful run until 2006, Arab Strap went on hiatus but reunited several times since then, with notable comebacks in 2011, 2016, and most recently in 2020. With their emotionally charged music and captivating performances, Arab Strap continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Rock Action is a record label based in Glasgow, Scotland. With a focus on alternative and experimental music, Rock Action has been at the forefront of the independent music scene since its establishment. The label boasts an impressive roster of talented artists who have pushed boundaries and challenged conventions in their respective genres.

Founded by members of the influential band *Mogwai*, Rock Action has become synonymous with innovation and creativity. The label's commitment to supporting emerging talent and nurturing unique voices has earned it a reputation as a tastemaker within the industry.

From ambient soundscapes to blistering rock anthems, Rock Action offers a diverse range of musical styles that appeal to both casual listeners and avid music enthusiasts. With each release carefully curated for quality and originality, fans can expect nothing less than exceptional artistry from every *Rock Action* artist.

"It's about hopelessness and darkness,” says Aidan Moffat. “But in a fun way.” The Arab Strap frontman is speaking about the band’s 7th studio album and their first since 2005’s The Last Romance. The band's exciting return saw the much lauded The Turning of Our Bones single achieve Record of the Week on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show and hit the B-list at BB6Music. The new album will appeal to longtime fans and pick up new ones who weren't ready for Arab Strap first time round!
