Arlum is a Chicago born rock band influenced by a wide range of music from the 60's - 90's. The early life stages of Arlum can be dated back to the year 2001, when Michael E began writing the album which is known today as "Breathing & Believing". The band formed in late 2003, when Michael E met bassist Randall Anderson and guitarist Jack Beshoar in college. Michael's cousin Dimitri, the final piece to the puzzle, joined shortly thereafter on drums. A raging four piece of melody driven noise came to life. In 2004 Arlum began testing the grounds along Chicago's Southside, accumulating a vast demographic of fans. The band would then later veer off into the direction of the big city. From 2005 to 2008, Arlum circled the entire Chicago land area, performing shows, from the Northshore down to the Southside. In Aug. 2009 and most of 2010, the band began recording their 1st full length, self-funded, self-produced album "Breathing & Believing". The Album was then mixed and mastered by Quentin Poynter at Chicago's Gunpoint Studios. "Breathing & Believing" was officially release on iTunes and Amazon on 1.11.11.
Moving forward Arlum hopes to provide their fans with the warm, familiar sounds of yesteryears, while exciting new audiences with hard hitting riffs of heart wrenching tunes.
