Too many bands wear their heart’s on their sleeves. San Diego’s Arm the Angels rip it out and slap you in the face with it. Cleverly crafted songs of angst that reflect the darker side of rock and roll, catchy hooks that make you feel the pain and want to sing along. Describing their songs as somewhere between Guns n Roses and Foo Fighters, Arm the Angels live shows reflect their punk rock influences A.F.I. and Rancid. A growing favorite on My Space and a solid home-town fan base has these guys positioned for success. Prior to locking themselves away in the studio to record their debut CD, “Novus Ordo Seclorum”, Arm the Angels opened for the Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows as well as welcoming the crowds to Journey/Def Leppard. They have played highly successful shows at San Diego nightclubs such as Cane’s, Brick by Brick, and House of Blues. San Diego radio stations 94/9, 91X and Rock 105.3 have helped to expand the band’s fanbase by regularly programming their music.
