The Arrival bounced onto the scene in April 2008 with the release of their self written, produced, and recorded EP, "Believe The Hype". The band's innate ability for songwriting was apparent, and "Believe The Hype" quickly garnered a steadily growing buzz both online and throughout the music industry. Following the release of "Believe The Hype" and a few months of touring independently, the band was picked up by The Artery Foundation Artist Management Group and The Agency Group.
