Thank you writers!

"Sharing their name with both a biblical verse and a 19th-century hymn, the Everlasting Arms play spastic, spiritual rock songs that pledge allegiance to no particular god, musical key, or rhythm." -- Flavorpill

"The Everlasting Arms have planted themselves in the dreaded "post-rock" territory and are busy trying to build something in the salted earth. . .Through sheer force of will or some minor miracle, they succeed most of the way, as the Bay Area trio swings really hard and sparsely on these songs, don't abuse tempo or volume swells, and concentrate on playing a very roomy blues-dub that takes the quieter moments of Fugazi and infuses them with the paranoia and uneasiness found in early 90 Day Men material. They got a good sound and are mostly in control of their own destiny. Cutting out the disco beats would be a good start; they sound best when lean and raw. Record's on yellow/white marbled vinyl, in a silkscreened cardboard sleeve, and comes with a CDR of the record for the vinyl-impaired. Nicer than it had a right to be, and they're probably getting better as you read this." -- Dusted Magazine

Hi.  Go to www.pacificnoise.com to see a very brief Armsy interview and some sweet footage from last's Elbo Room blow-out with Roots of Orchis and Horse of Course.  Love.

Our 8-song debut is available on a severely limited run of 400 records (pretty butter-cuppy yellow-and-white swirled vinyl enconsed tenderly in hand-screened cardboard jackets).  If you can't come to a show, head over to Aquarius Records (21st and Valencia Streets in San Francisco, CA -- though you will also be able to order it online soon!) or stop by our house. 

Also, for the past 8 or 9 months, we've been writing new songs, some good and some so-so.  The so-so ones we've scrapped and the good you can hear us play live at any show. 

Working Titles of Good New Arms Songs (in the order they were written):  Liger, Hydro, Ancient Ocean, and White Weekend.

Best Wishes, Arms
