Formed from the ashes of seminal art thrashers Botch and Minneapolis hardcore heroes Kill Sadie, Seattle's These Arms Are Snakes are filled to the brim with sinister guitar licks, equal parts snarly vocals, and a pension for ethereal and spaced-out musical interludes. "Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home" is, in many ways, the completion of the promise made with the potential of last year's "This Is Meant to Hurt You" EP. The new album sparkles with a tight, visceral momentum, both angular   [ read more ]

Seattle, WA's THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES are poised to spread their venom far and wide. With members who have participated in such Northwestern luminaries as BOTCH, NINEIRONSPITFIRE, and KILL SADIE, These Arms Are Snakes' pedigree is but a touchstone for the band's progressive aggression and passionate chaos. Defying parameters, These Arms Are Snakes match their determined rock with side-winding sonic parallels and layers of subtle confusion.

'Artsy Seattle post-hardcore act These Arms Are Snakes mixes the urgency and aggressive vocal style of punk with the exploded song structures and technical complexity of the original wave of math rock bands. This fusion is a logical progression from the bandmembers' former projects: singer Steve Snere was formerly of the Minneapolis-to-Seattle emo transplants Kill Sadie, while bassist, singer, and keyboardist Brian Cook was formerly in long-running math rockers Botch.

These Arms Are Snakes second full length for Jade Tree finds the Seattle foursome towing a proverbial line between paradox, hostility and a caustic blend of post-hard/math core. Retaining the definitive tension and angular force of earlier These Arms Are Snakes efforts, Easter is the year-long culmination of a more structured yet experimental song writing process for the band. Recorded at Red Room Recording in Seattle by TAAS drummer Chris Common, Easter explores the relationship between suspe   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with free download coupon! These Arms Are Snakes move through ten songs with the cracked grace of bolted lightning, rolling and leveling, seeking a space to storm into. The result is more a coherent whole album than a cycle of individual songs. From the textural depth of the keyboards and guitar tones to the vocal delivery, the attention to detail is incredible.
