NEW MUSIC FROM THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES
In celebration of their upcoming tour — or perhaps just because they felt like it — Seattle post-metallers These Arms are Snakes have released a new digital single called “Washburn,” streaming exclusively at Spinner.com. The song, originally half of a super-limited edition split 7″ with All the Saints, is exactly what we’ve all come to expect from TAAS: jarring rhythms, angular dissonance, and intricate post-metal riffs in a raw, punk package.
Monsieurs Rosenberg, Wingerschmidt and myself are all going to attend the insanity that is a TAAS show on September 25th at a grimy, DIY Brooklyn venue called “Shea Stadium” (!!). That show will undoubtedly blow the frickin’ pants off the following night’s hang at the relatively pedestrian (but still awesome) Mercury Lounge in Manhattan… it’s gonna be “batshit crazy,” in the words of Mr. Wingerschmidt.
