About

Introducing ARRAYS, the solo music project of JP Carroll, a musician and producer from Auckland, New Zealand. For JP, music is an ache to soothe, and an itch to scratch. JP’s drive to create a breadth and depth of oeuvre has led him to become a student of recording and production techniques, as well as general industry knowledge, to allow his work to reach as many willing ears as possible. ARRAYS is an award winning, (Radio Wigwam - UK best international male artist 2022), hard hitting alternative rock & metal project. JP’s production skills have earned him spots on the Radioscope Top 40 NZ Rock Chart, Hot Single (NZ Official Music) Chart placements, as well as being anointed as ‘one to watch’ by the NZ Official Music Charts. JP’s former band (Armed In Advance) had the honor of supporting Drowning Pool, P.O.D and Skillet on New Zealand soil. JP also currently fronts Auckland hard rock band Swerve City. ARRAYS draws influence from 90’s grunge, early 2000’s alternative rock, and modern day metalcore and progressive metal to form a unique and endearing sound for generations of rock listeners. ARTEFACTS is the fourth album from ARRAYS, and doubles down on this artists’ penchant for accessible hooks amidst heavy guitar riffs, screams and breakdowns. ARTEFACTS will be released in two parts, and explores the inner world in a post-COVID era. First single ‘Hungry Ghost’ is prog-rock adjacent and explores a hypothetical universe in which the world is led to calamity. “…There are a handful of talented multi instrumental musicians who have the ability to strip everything back to just themselves and their imagination. JP Carroll is one such talent. He is also a master of the killer riff.” – Paul Goddard, Muzic.net.nz “…It’s poetic that this project is called ARRAYS because he has a vastness of skills that combine to make this majestic musical output.” – Red Rock Magazine “…To be angry without restraint while demonstrating the ability to control it is a skill: ‘Obsidian Oceans’ is the result of whatever cocktail comes funnelled from it. Drink up.” – Weareymx “…Each (song) is strong, with wonderfully layered vocals and arrangements, loads of riffs and aggression being tempered but never fully going away.” – Kev Rowland, House of Prog “…Delivering plenty of personality, inspiring ideas as much so as heavy, immersive musicianship, ARRAYS leads with confidence, quality, and unapologetic passion united.” – Rebecca Cullen, Stereo Stickman
