Arms And Hearts Return To The Fold With Extra Energy And Motivation For Apologists

Arms And Hearts 
Apologists 
Thousand Island Records 
 
Written about holding people accountable for their actions, especially when they are in a trusted position, Apologists was a catharsis for singer Steve Millar. After forming the band Arms and Hearts in 2015, the band went on to release an acoustic oriented album. The Distance Between took their Manchester sound and pushed it into international acclaim.  Now with another record on the calendar, October 10th will unravel to offer The Future Is Not Bright. Shifting the genre in many subtle ways, the band embark on an exploration of what it means to deal with the struggles of life, from the boss to mental health and everything else between them. When your surroundings insist that you give up hope and you refuse to do it, is the future bright? Perhaps it all depends on the Apologists.  
 
A punky vocal begins with a smoothness that gives room for the building guitar. Chugging chords with palm-muted rhythms kick off the song as the voice begins. A few bars in and the band rev the engine, drums and distortion are freed from their painting and become real before our ears. The uplifting melody of the song greets vibrant guitar parts that twinkle and whisper with aptitude and free-flowing groove. With a continual evolution of riff and drive, the rhythm keeps the chopping guitar to the measure with every twist of the drama held among the lyrics.
