These Arms Are Snakes

[Nate The Great]

J. and possibly a few others should check this band out. Anybody not afraid of something that falls closer to rock might really like these guys. Here's the bio:

The Story
Born of the ashes of seminal art thrashers Botch and Minneapolis punk heroes Kill Sadie, Seattle's These Arms are Snakes are fast-becoming an integral part of the Pacific Northwest's ever-dynamic musical fabric. Employing sinister guitar licks mixed with equal parts snarly vocals and a pension for spaced out musical long form - has painted the buzz heavy Snakes as anything but conventional. The band has toured endlessly, plastering both coasts with their livid live shows and with their eyes squarely focused on progressing and challenging all the current notions of hardcore, These Arms are Snakes are now poised to take their game to the next level – bringing all the passion and promise of their previous endeavors to splendid completion.

Born of the ashes of seminal art thrashers Botch

Dude, that's all you had to say.

Hold the wagon there hombre! Don't expect them to be Botch part 2. They're still quite good, though. They take the same progressive approach that Botch did, and they apply it to a more rock oriented style of hardcore. Some people might mistakenly call it emo, but emo is NOT what these guys are doing.

 

[J.]

still sounds cool, and since I've been listening to a bunch of rock lately, it definitely sounds cool.

 

[Nate The Great]

Its been getting great reviews.

 

[Nate The Great]

Plus they have a cool name . . .

 

[J.]

HAHAHAHA!

There's a big tittie on the inside cover of this album. I just got my copy today. It's quite excellent.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Ba-dump!

 

[Nate The Great]

This album was in the Decibel Magazine top 40 . . . I'm sure Terrorizer will put it there as well. I haven't seen a bad review of it yet.

 

[Black Winter Day]

This first mp3 is a bit proggy. The vocals are not bad at all. I'll probably end up buying this at the show.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Horrible band, utterly nerve grating.
