With only two members, Gainesville’s Liquid Limbs is one of the loudest experimental bands to play catchy, hook-laden heaviness that you’ll ever hear. They somehow manage to make strange tunings, abrupt changes and unbelievably thick guitars sound as catchy as a radio-friendly pop song. The music is really anything but traditional. Kevin Nowak (guitar/vocals), who alternates between a standard and baritone guitar, makes his axe do things that, quite frankly, just seem unnatural, from the heaviest churning chords to floating and melodic leads. Chase Permann (drums) matches every note effortlessly with pounding and dynamic beats.
Orquid was released September 2008 by Sound Study Recordings. The album was recorded at Crescendo Sound Studios in Gainesville, FL with Derron Nuhfer and Ryan Williams.
"Liquid Limbs deliver intense experimental style indie rock with unexpectedly catchy vocal melodies. Made up of just two members, guitarist Kevin Nowak and drummer Chase Permann, Liquid Limbs manages plently of memorable noise despite their petite stage set up."
-AMP Magazine
"There simply can't be enough praise for this record. Not many bands can jump from thick riffs to stellar vocal harmonies to rhythmically engaging rock melodies with this much ease. We simply need more bands like this in heavy music. Bottom Line: Catchy heaviness meets clever rock songwriting in Liquid Limbs' Orquid. This is mandatory listening material for those who love bands like Torche, Jucifer, and Big Business. Don't mess this one up by not checking this out."

"Orquid flits between hooky melodies and speaker-stretching sonic workouts within seconds of each other, a crafted work of broken and stitched up prog pop genius."
-Big Cheese Magazine (UK)
"Liquid Limbs play like a storm: their instruments are crashing, sometimes bouncing like rain, and altogether rolling into a thunderous debut full-length."
-Punkbands.com
"Liquid Limbs is flat out impressive. You'll never see another two-piece make this much noise"
-The Gainesville Sun
"There is ample time in each of the eleven songs for him (Kevin) to merely rock the shit out of you, as Liquid Limbs do lay down a formidable groove when they want to. It helps that drummer Chase Permann pounds the living bejesus out of his kit. I give you Make Peace With War, as an example. It matches the technical precision of Pelican with the vocal gymnastics of Totimoshi or maybe even a little Judas Priest."
-Jaded Scenester Music Blog
"Torche and Big Business are the key reference points throughout the 11 tracks on offer here. Liquid Limbs have enough of thier own personality here though, which shines through when balancing some severely heavy riffs with quieter verses ... Definitely ones to keep an eye on."
-Rock Sound Magazine
"While most bands these days are like drinking Michelob Ultra, Liquid Limbs are like and ice cold "create a six pack" from Gator Beverage."
-The Satellite Magazine
"Think Torche and Yes tag teaming as a two-man wrecking crew. It works quite well."
-Hanging Hex Zine
