These Arms Are Snakes – “Duct Tape & Shivering Crows” Double LP
During their tenure from 2002 to 2009 Seatle’s These Arms Are Snakes were one of the finest and most exciting underground bands in (perhaps) the whole god damn uni verse. With a sound all of their own (that pre-empted Daughters/Dope Body and Drug Church), drawn from the culmination of their previous band membership’s – the wild urgency of Killsadie, the technical flamboyance of Botch, and the heavy thump of Nineironspitfire. This compilation, from across their career, combines b-sides (Good Friday 7″), the split 7″ releases (Harkonen, Tropics, Russian Circles, and All The Saints), a cover (Nirvana), and demo versions of four of the tracks that later appeared on This Is Meant To Hurt You – the triumphant and brilliant debut 12″ EP that was released by Jade Tree in 2003,
