"Arms Aloft’s Comfort At Any Cost ep is the perfect recipe for punk rock fun: Loud, crunchy guitars; neck-break speed drumming, smart-mouthed vocals; sing-alongs; fun times. 8 out of 10."-Juan Diniz (mammothpress.com)
"Sometimes I have a tendency to judge a book by its cover. That happened to be the case with this record. I saw plain white text that looked like some stencil work over a predominately black and white background, all nicely hand-screened and hand-numbered. I assumed it was going to [be] on the crustier end of things, and i couldn't have been more wrong. ARMS ALOFT plays some nearly perfectly executed catchy punk that sounds so Midwestern it's almost cliche. just imagine any of your favorite Midwest bands; I won't even bother picking one to associate with these guys, as they will soon be a band to whom others will be compared as an influence. Go crack an Old Style and drink it by yourself while listening to ARMS ALOFT to get the full experience." -Brian Dooley (Maxiumum Rock & Roll)
"Hailing from Wisconsin, Arms Aloft are quite a surprise with their 7” debut Comfort at Any Cost. This four-song EP follows up a demo recording released last year. The four-piece outfit have concocted an upbeat mixture of punk and rock and roll. Arms Aloft has a definite Hot Water Music sound, but with a bit more of a rock feel at points as well. Stylistically they incorporate a fair amount of melody like Samiam and Jawbreaker did back in the day. I'm a pretty big fan of what I'm hearing on this record. I really love it when I find a new band. Thank you for sending this to me. Pick up a copy of this (they're working on a second pressing already)." -Michael (Scene Point Blank)
If you like what you hear, you can pre-order the second pressing of our latest 7" EP "Comfort At Any Cost" over at Dead Format . net. The first pressing of "Comfort..." is possibly still available via Kiss Of Death distro as well. Thanks.
