Биография

Formed on a whim in late 2019, Arms Like Roses have since become one of the few bands in the current scene that has plenty to offer for both older and younger fans of emo, indie rock, and post-hardcore. Consisting of Estelle Angel (vocals), Thomas Shreve (drums), Tom Fisher (bass), Xela Stockmal and Adam Padilla (guitars), ALR’s scrappy early EPs and dedication to frequent and intense live shows across the East Coast and Midwest earned them attention from national publications including The Alternative and No Echo. The band has been compared to classic, gritty emo-punk acts Rainer Maria and Sunny Day Real Estate just as frequently as their noodly, progressive contemporaries like Sweet Pill and Pool Kids. Coupled with the angsty melodrama of 2000s bands they were raised on such as Thursday and Circa Survive on their debut LP “Blooming” in July 2022, the group have developed a sound all their own that often fluctuates violently between the beautiful and the ugly; a theme that remains constant across all aspects of their presentation. Arms Like Roses have recently entered the studio with engineer William Hirst (Restraining Order, Maniac) to work on new music set to be released in fall of 2023.
