They have released five albums, two EPs and a number of singles that have charted in Canada. The band has won multiple Juno Awards, including one for their album High Noon in 2015.
The band is currently made up of: Max Kerman (vocals, guitar), Mike DeAngelis (vocals, guitar), Nick Dika (bass), Tim Oxford (drums), and Anthony Carone (vocals, keyboard, guitar)
Originally called Charlemagne, the band changed their name when another band of the same name threatened to sue them. The band is named after Arkell Street in the Westdale neighbourhood of Hamilton, ON, near McMaster University, where they lived and would practice their music. All five original band members attended McMaster where lead singer Max Kerman graduated with an honours BA in Political Science. Kerman met guitarist Mike DeAngelis at a McMaster Welcome Week event where the two discovered they had an identical taste in music.
In 2006, they signed with Dine Alone Records, and have since signed with Universal Records Canada and Last Gang Records.
Arkells' debut album Jackson Square was released 28 October 2008 on Dine Alone Records. In late 2008, Arkells toured Canada as opening act for Matt Mays & El Torpedo.
In April 2010, Arkells won the Juno Award for New Group of the Year, and on May 15, 2010, were picked to open for Them Crooked Vultures at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. They made headlines while playing a set at Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto after the 2010 Much Music Video Awards, when rapper Shad and pop singer Kesha joined them onstage to freestyle and sing along during a cover of Ms. Jackson by Outkast.
In 2011, the band wrote and recorded their second album Michigan Left, which was released on October 18 of that year. On 6 October 2011 it was announced that Dan Griffin would be leaving the band to go back to school. He was replaced by Anthony Carone.
In 2012, Arkells won the 2012 Juno Award for Group of the Year.
On May 13, 2014, the band released the single "Come to Light", and confirmed the title of the record would be High Noon. The record was released on Dine Alone/Universal Records, August 5, 2014. The band would go on to with the Juno Award for Group of the Year and the Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year at the 2015 Juno Awards. High Noon was also long listed for the Polaris prize in 2015.
On October 23, 2015, the band released a new EP, "Study Music", which they self-produced and released on Universal Music Canada/Dine Alone Records.
Arkells began teasing new material from their forthcoming album on tour in the spring of 2016. The fourth album, Morning Report, was released on August 5, 2016.
At the Juno Awards of 2017, Arkells were nominated for Juno Award for Group of the Year and the Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year. They performed their viral hit "Drake's Dad" live on the television broadcast
The Arkells released their fifth studio album, Rally Cry, on October 19, 2018, accompanied by a Canadian tour featuring Lord Huron as the opening act. The tour featured the Arkells' largest arena show at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on February 16, 2019.
On February 25, 2020 the band released the new single and video "Years in the Making". Later that year, on July 30, they released the single "Quitting You", and announced the release of Campfire Chords, a full-length album featuring acoustic versions of earlier songs, on August 20. Each member recorded his part at home during the COVID-19 quarantine and sent it to Carone, who then edited, mixed and produced the pieces into complete songs.
On March 25, 2021 the band released the new single and video "You Can Get It", featuring guest vocals by K.Flay.

You Can Get It
Arkells Lyrics
Tell me what you want and I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm not giving up come on we got nothing left to lose
I've been here from the start you know I'm not going anywhere
I don't give a fuck tell me what you want
You can get it
Tied up
Bad vibes, bad luck, been swinging like a boomerang
Dried up
All talk, no bite, now we're coming like a hurricane
Pull the curtain back
Everybody wants to get some
A surprise attack
You and me together coming at you like a hurricane
Tell me what you want right now (ooh)
Let everybody talk right now
So tell me what you want right now
You can get it
Tell me what you want and I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm not giving up come on we got nothing left to lose
I've been here from the start you know I'm not going anywhere
I don't give a fuck tell me what you want
You can get it
(Woo)
Hold up
Coming out of me, lightning bolt electricity
(Woo)
Blow up
It's tearing at the seams yeah I see it unraveling
Pulling back the curtain got the sun in my eyes
Everybody they been hurting but they push it aside
Every person is a person with a different disguise
Feels like I'm on a desert island and it's lord of the flies
Watch out for your neck
Wrecking ball is swinging heavy
This adrenaline
It's coming outta me, lightning bolt electricity
Tell me what you want right now, ooh
Let everybody talk right now
Tell me what you want right now
You can get it (yeah)
Well you can get it (yeah)
You can get it
Tell me what you want and I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm not giving up come on we got nothing left to lose
I've been here from the start you know I'm not going anywhere
I don't give a fuck tell me what you want
You can get it
(Woo)
I don't give a fuck tell me what you want
You can get it
You can get it
You can get it
Tell me what you want and I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
