Here’s some good news for fans of rad bands: Arm’s Length have signed with Pure Noise Records. Not only that, but the emo-influenced, Ontario-based group is releasing a new album, There’s A Whole World Out There, on May 16.
Along with the album announcement, Arm’s Length released first single “Funny Face,” which singer Allen Steinberg described as being about “how discouragement from a trusted loved one can shape who you are as a person and your overall outlook on life. It’s one of our darkest, heaviest tracks. Lyrically, I wanted to illustrate the narrative of being entangled in a toxic codependent relationship, whether romantic or familial. It’s a straightforward, desperate sounding song, sonically and lyrically.” You can hear really that desperation in the soaring chorus, something Arm’s Length does so well.
