On the plus side, our Friday Mixtape is immune to weather and season changes, so if you dig listening to new Kanye West and No Age tracks in blistering code temperatures, well, we're here for you. Either way, enjoy the latest edition of our weekly mixtape, which, [...]

A.R.E. Weapons is an electro-punk band hailing from New York City. Since forming in 1999, the group has released five full-lengths, the latest being the just-issued Darker Blue (Defend). Longtime fans of the Weapons will not be disappointed, as their heavily synthesized sound and yelping vocals remain intact. We have the first single from the album [...]

Weapons release their riot-inducing new album, Darker Blue, on Defend Music. In honor of the occasion the art-punk electro duo have let loose one of the records tracks, "Mr. Creature."

everyone's favorite band [to hate] or not. what do you think?
New York City's A.R.E. Weapons return with their third cd, Modern Mayhem, on Defend Music . The electronics that were so prevalent on Free In The Streets seem to have taken a back seat on the new cd, but that grit from the streets feel is still there. The reduction of the keyboard and drum machines on Modern Mayhem give the cd much more of a punk feel. For myself, the more I listen to it the more this album sounds like something the Dead Milkmen would release if they were still making [...]

I do not really know how to describe A.R.E. Weapons ' sound. I wanna use the term post-punk but, in all honesty, I have no idea what that term really means. So, I'll just say they sound kinda like a punk band with more talent and some keyboards and drum machines. A lot of reviewers seem to really dislike these guys and their articles about the band seem to give way to angry rants that the band had tricked them leading up to the release of Free in the Streets . I think the problem lies in [...]
