Product Description

Description

Seattle's These Arms are Snakes--featuring former members of hardcore bands Kill Sadie and Botch--have mastered the rarefied subgenre of prog-punk, throwing pre-MIDI analog synthstogether with massive thrash guitars and savage vocals. It's angry and arty and smart. Their second album for Jade Treeis an unrelenting assault, from the opening Led Zep-like stomper "Mescaline Eyes" to the dissonant folk-rock of "Perpetual Bris" (ouch), to the howling insanity of "Crazy Woman Dirty Train".

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Easter' arrives early... you lucky listeners!, 8 Nov 2006
By M. J. Pucci "Big Riff" (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
These Arms Are Snakes are simply awesome. Tricky to categorise (progressive 'art-core' if you insist...) yet distinctive in both sound and intent, this Seattle-based four-piece draw together an array of sounds and influences, and on `Easter' - the band's second full-length LP - they've distilled it into a stunning collection of seething sonic gems. Much like fellow forward-thinking hardcore heroes, Snapcase, TAAS engage the listener on a cerebral level; equally, the melodic, needling riffs and Steve Snere's vituperative vocals make a chest-puncturing grab for the heart, while the awkward, skewed rhythms recall the fiery punk spirit of At The Drive-In.

The band's line-up features former members of Botch and Kill Sadie, both of whom were highly influential, but - predictably - commercially underrated; on `Easter' These Arms... are reaching for the sky. Check `em out now before they go stratospheric.

4.0 out of 5 stars These Ears Are Impressed, 15 Sep 2006
'Easter' is a collection of fantastic, heavy, off-kilter sleaze-rock in the vein of Jesus Lizard or Icarus Line, shot through with layered, Aereogramme-style experimentation. Bursting with unconventional rhythms, melodic, pummelling bass, searing guitar and on-the-edge vocals, this record pushes sonic boundaries but remains resolutely accessible. It is destined to be one of 2006's loudest highlights.
