With his band Arjun, Eddie Arjun Peters plays in a style that is a mixture of musical genres, but considering his background that is no surprise. Eddie is a West Indian of Guyanese decent who was born in Canada and raised in Queens. Eddie has been studying guitar since the age of 12 and in 2003 he formed his band Arjun.

His debut album contains seven instrumental multi-genre laced straight up rock and roll that at times is a bit heavy and wild is like what you might find in the middle of songs at a live concert from bands like The Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd but much longer since each piece is well over five minutes in length and one is even over eight minutes long.

This is the culmination of the all natural cohesion of three great musical genres: funk, rock and jazz.  Arjun demonstrates that lyrics aren't necessary to tell a story.  All you need is raw instruments.  But what is behind those raw instruments is raw talent, and that is the true story of this new group.  There is a bonding that is blatantly obvious among this threesome that is hard to define, one just needs to open his or her ears and mind and soak in all that is in this 7 track release.  Focus tracks: 1. "Balls", 3. "Wung It" and 6. "Longass" - Jake Burritt

"pieces"

Eddie Peters and his two colleagues have produced a powerful recording with this release. Strong driving tracks full of energy and with a pulsating beat, the pace rarely lets up from first to last with Mr Peter's guitar playing a force to be reckoned with, backed superbly by outstanding drumming and Bass playing. The overall sound is inventive and refreshingly different, the fusion of different types of Music works well. Three very talented Musicians indeed,I  await their next recording with considerable interest.

Best Regards.

If funk and groove is your thing, then you'll love the debut CD from Arjun. There are incredible drumbeats and guitar licks that resemble the musical artistry of New Orleans bands like Galactic and The Meters, especially in "Balls" and "Longass." This jamming band from New York will simply amaze and astound, and you'll definitely think they're locals (New Orleanians) from the first note to the last. Arjun uses the classic groove rhythms, bass beats, and techniques that magically fall into place while still giving their music a contemporary edge within the composition. As an instrumental band, Arjun definitely shines through with their superb melodic harmonies and riffs, giving the listener a deeper soulful energy that is quenched throughout pieces. Be sure to listen carefully to find hidden bits and pieces, especially during a killer guitar solo in "Wung It" that resembles something from Santana, and "Fall to Pieces" which resembles some musical configurations from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
