Narrows Painted Deathwish Inc 28 February 2011 by Tom Doyle Whilst there has been much written about the Mayan prediction of the destruction of the world this year, there has be relatively little discussion about what the soundtrack to that impending apocalypse will be. Well, I humbly submit that with their second full-length, Painted , Narrows have [...]
Those transatlantic metal innovators, Narrows , have gone and slipped out a preview for their forthcoming second full-length album, while we were busy throwing up Christmas decorations and generally being merry. 'Absolute Betrayer' showcases practically everything we love about this band, whipped into three-minute package of technicolour goodness - and you can check it out after the jump. 'Absolute Betrayer' by Narrows For anyone unfamiliar with Narrrows, they're an amalgamation of [...]
I have a friend who swears that the basement of her workplace is haunted by a g-g-g-g-ghost... She also mentioned an affinity for reality shows about paranormal activity. So naturally I asked her if the ghost at her workplace came before she started watching said reality shows or vice versa. What do you think her [...]
It's something of a mystery to us why we've not written more about how megaton-level awesome Narrows are - especially given how their line-up boasts ex- and current members of bands such as Botch, These Arms Are Snakes, and Tropics (among others). When we saw them play the Camden Underworld just over a year ago, [...]

by chuck bell Since the inception of Quiet Color's Dead Bands column, we have seen a few groups come back to life, including Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbox . However, it was only a matter of time before an active band died on our watch. These Arms Are Snakes are the first of the recently deceased, having broken up just 2 months ago. Originally formed in 2002, TAAS rose from the ashes of three of Seattle's most prevalent hardcore bands - Botch, nineironspitfire and Kill Sadie. The core [...]
I'm patting myself on the back today. I opened a link from a trusted publicist about a band called Native, and after pressing play the first thing I thought was "Gee, this drummer sounds a lot like These Arms Are Snakes' Chris Common." And while Chris Common is unfortunately not the drummer for Native, when [...]
Dilapidated warehouse, makeshift stage, loud-as-fuck sound system, cheap booze and weed smoke everywhere, hundreds of sweaty, crazy motherfuckers going insane as the band-members gyrate about on stage and come into the audience, because really there's barely any separation between stage and floor. That's what I want it to be like the first time I see [...]

by theseseans (NYC)These Arms Are Snakes have, much to my disappointment, broken up. While I didn't love everything the band did, I thought Easter was one of the best rock records of the 2000's (Tail Swallower and Dove was pretty good too). Perhaps one good thing will come from the break up though, could Narrows see a little more touring and material??Good-bye These Arms Are Snakes, thanks for
