Arm's Length

Ontario emo-rockers just dropped the lead single "Object Permanence" from their forthcoming debut LP titled "Never Before Seen, Never Again Found", set for release this October. The official video for the single can be streamed below, and if it's any indication of what's to come, the new Arm's Length album is bound to put these guys on the map. I knew this band was onto something when they sent me an advance of their self released EP "Everything Nice" last year that we covered, and I was instantly hooked on their heart on your sleeve emotional punk anthems with massive hooks. Like the EP, the new single hearkens back to the emo/post-hardcore of the early/mid-2000s, and picks up right where they left off, only bigger and even better than before. With a debut full length around the corner and a tour with Super American and Young Culture this fall, it won't be long before emo revival kids and elder-emos are shouting these songs back with fists in the air, the same way we all did when Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, Armor For Sleep, Matchbook Romance, Finch and bands of that ilk (and especially the Drive Thru Records era of bands) first came onto the scene. There's no reason why Arm's Length won't rise to success the same way Hot Mulligan and some of the more recent bands of this 5th wave emo revival have in the past few years. I look forward to hearing this album in full and hope it lives up to the hype! Look forward to sharing more thoughts closer to the release and be sure to scroll down and check out the new single and pre-save the album from the pre-order link.
