Artist Biography: Dent May http://www.musicemissions.com/artists/Dent+May Artist Biography: Chief Keef http://www.musicemissions.com/artists/Chief+Keef Artist Biography: White Arrows http://www.musicemissions.com/artists/White+Arrows White Arrows may never divulge the source of their strange magic, but it's hard not to picture a mystic dance floor hidden in the midst of a tropical rainforest. The Los Angeles band stands at these balmy crossroads like a vision from an alternate reality: classic without leaning on nostalgia, visionary but not unfamiliar.
