The World of Cursed Arrows

Who are Cursed Arrows?
For 18 years, we have performed on big stages and in tiny spaces, lived in minivans and haunted basements, appeared on hit TV shows, and have covered more artists than even we can wrap our heads around. Our music seeks to translate and transmute their love and humanity into a listenable format. We live and create artwork, writing and music with our son in close proximity to the ocean in South Shore, Nova Scotia.
Cursed Arrows released our 9 song album, Crone, on November 29, 2022 on Tarantula Tapes cassette label. At the same time, The Cursed Arrows Oracle (40 card divination deck and guidebook) entered many waiting hands. We are currently at work on our next album, due out in 2026, and our 2nd oracle deck, to be released later this year.

A few years ago, we lost our entire mailing list of subscribers in an instant whilst switching website hosts.
I know… who cares?! However, that preamble helps explain why you might be seeing this.
You are reading this because you already know us
You are a follower, fan, friend, family member or acquaintance who - at one time or another - signed up for one of my mailing lists via Substack or our website or Bandcamp. You’ve downloaded our music, clicked subscribe, attended our show(s), purchased merch from us, and you probably follow us on social media. You’ve expressed an interest in knowing our art, and for that, we thank you ever so sincerely. You are welcome to stay (subscribe) or go (ignore) with zero remorse.
We are continuing to build a community of likeminded lovers.
We’re not just playing music when we perform; we’re building a sense of belonging. If you enjoy witnessing people create music + artwork because they are moved to do so - self-taught and from the ground up - then this is probably an ideal space for you.
We aren’t trying to sell you anything.
This newsletter will function just like our band blogs always have - since the days of MySpace yore. It’s a space in which you will hear about our shows, see lovely live photos and videos, and keep up-to-date on our past and upcoming musical releases. Sure, we do sell things online at and shows - notably physical copies of our albums, t-shirts, art prints, stickers, and handmade jewellery, and you might hear about it occasionally. You’ll probably hear from us 1-2 times a month, and we will make those times count.
