Background notes

Archive material and source history

These Arms Are Snakes formed in Boston in 2002. Their debut album 'This Is Meant to Hurt You' came out in 2004, featuring the song 'Abracadabraca' with its dissonant chords and haunting vocals.

They followed with albums like 'Tail Swallower and Dove' in 2006 and 'Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home' in 2008. Their sound mixed post-hardcore with noise rock and experimental elements, heard in tracks like 'Angela's Secret' and 'Big News'.

The band's lineup included Chris Maggio on vocals and guitar, with Ben Vere also involved. They were known for visceral live performances that some found confrontational, while others appreciated their willingness to experiment.
