Los Angeles and London: combined the two music Meccas have been responsible for half the greatest songs of the last four decades. So it's only fitting that when you merge the two into one musical metropolis you get i-94, three English ex-pats and a L.A. musician, who take songwriting to new levels. i-94 formed when band mates Mark and Danny (formally of Bottlefly and signed to Universal) brought in bassist Angelo, and once they hooked up with guitarist Matt, who was a friend from the U.K., the current line-up of i-94 was born. Despite the fact the band are modern road warriors, having played around the world, the name i-94 doesn't have a thing to do with the interstate highway.It's the immigration/visa waiver form you have to fill out to get into the U.S. as a non-resident. It's called an i-94.

A new album featuring recent movie and tv tracks, entitled "NOT ONLY BUT ALSO" has just hit CD Baby. While you're over checking out the latest tunes take time to check out the previous release, BITS AND PARTS,which is packed tight with songs that would sound great coming out of your car speakers, computer, iPod, or wherever, right next to U2, Snow Patrol, Lifehouse, Coldplay and Switchfoot."BITS AND PARTS", reveals the full range of their musical dynamic from the fragile,intimate songs Hold Me Now and "Mindless song" to the catchy sass of These Days and crunching, energetic rockers like "When she comes round,Don't Fade Me Out and Know My NameE With tracks such as The Sun Will Rise Again,"Too Low" and Alone Again the band serve up powerful anthems with epic style. Yet they also show a more mellow side to their music as displayed in the songs "Losing YouEand the hooky arpeggio piano of Bits and PartsE These songs have an addictive quality that is further amplified by well annunciated lyrics delivered by Arnell. His velvety, smooth voice soothes the ear, until he adjusts it slightly adding a bit of grit and kicking it up for higher register crooning.

From being multi instrumentalists with Danny, Matt and Angelo creating and playing string and keyboard parts, to the engineering, production and mixing skills of Arnell to creating the artwork it was completely self contained. They recorded and finished this record for absolutely no money, using no studio outboard gear,(well, just a Focusrite mic pre) and plug ins on Pro Tools MAC OS 9 and 10."This album shows that all you need is a vision and pair of ears" laughs Arnell.

i-94's previous albums, DON'T GET NERVOUS and "CONTROL" had 2 top 5 hits on Yahoo's Launch Cast Radio in 2005 and early 2006-7 on the Adult Alternative station with Go Back In Time and Not Alone (reached 3) above artists such as Rob Thomas, Maroon 5, Coldplay, Collective Soul, Nickelback, Three Doors Down, Fall Out boy and Lifehouse. i-94 followed DON'T GET NERVOUS with an acoustic cd due to fan demand, ACOUSTIC SESSIONS released in summer 2006, also available on Cdbaby.com and iTunes. They followed that with a third album "CONTROL". The single "Somewhere Else else" from that album was in the top ten songs of the international song writing competition, above hundreds of thousands of song entries, it was also nominated for this years LA music awards,"best group with vocal"and received a great response from internet radio.
