Arrest! Charlie Tipper feature some notable ex-members of Bristol bands past - the Groove Farm, Rorschach, the Five Year Plan, the Beatnik Filmstars to name a few. The band released three singles and their debut album "Mellow On" on Breaking Down under the name the Charlie Tipper Experiment before changing their name in November 2015 to the CTC.
