Forming in late 2010, Brisbane alternative rock band Arms of the Ocean have created a uniquely infectious and explosive sound, coupled with a frenetic, engaging and powerful live show. The release of the band’s debut EP earlier this year brought with it a wave of praise from critics and punters alike. Influenced by the big acts of the nineties, but with a sound firmly their own, Arms of the Ocean have well and truly arrived on the Brisbane scene. It’s time to pay attention. Novella is out now on iTunes and bandcamp. “These dudes sound like a heavy dose of nineties hard rock, not unlike that of Foo Fighters or Stone Temple Pilots… They are a tight band that knows how to write one helluva rock song.” Matt Jensen, The Equal Ground
