Biography
Arms Akimbo’s Peter Schrupp, Christopher Kalil, Matthew Sutton and Colin Boppell have tapped into that post-college-now-wtf vein of hope, insecurity and “fuck it, let’s just enjoy this” with their most recent EP “The Wrong Kind Of Dance Party”. Interspersed by recordings from an actual house party, the songs immediately drop you into a typical kegger with all the promise of a good time as well all the dashed hopes and inevitable heartbreak. But the EP slowly exposes the deeper side. The part where you end up at the end of the night, sitting with your best friend in the driveway and wondering what the point of life is.
Whatever it is, the band has hit a nerve. Maybe it’s that never ending nag that this time in life is fleeting, that responsibility is knocking hard on the door. Maybe it’s the inspiration that you don’t ever have to lose this feeling. Maybe it’s also a sign of the times…that in an increasingly unpredictable world, the only thing you can count on are friends, and this moment in time.
