These Arms Are Snakes, a post-hardcore band from Seattle, have called it quits.
Excerpt from their myspace TAAS RIP note:
“It’s with a heavy heart we tell you that These Arms Are Snakes is no more. It’s been a great run and we’d like to send out a very hearty “Thank You” to everyone that we’ve worked with or anyone that we’ve toured with…
This band could not have been possible without all of you. We sincerely thank you.
Much love,
TAAS”
