ArmsBendBack burst onto the scene in 2002 with "Even Though I'll Hurt You." While there were only a handful on songs on the disc (five to be exact), they seemed to generate enough buzz to sign with Trustkill Records. Of course, it didn't hurt that this Philadelphia quartet was also heavily touring with the likes of OneLineDrawing and A Static Lullaby. The band isn't nearly as grinding and hardcore as some of their label-mates (Nora or 18 Visions). The band consists of Andrew Kegerise on drums, Brad Sloan on bass, vocalist Mike Coasey and guitarist Carson Slovak. Slovak and Sloan also handle backing vocals. The band's sound is catchy and dynamic, with vocals drifting from melodic wails to angry screaming (but leaning towards the former); the tracks seem intricate and simple all at the same time.

This Could Be
ArmsBendBack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ake me lose my mind any time now any time now
Make me scream and shout
make me blow my mount any time now
You made a way to shine my heart you know it's easy
You make me want to shine my heart you know it's easy
How can I avoid what I can't control any time now any time now
This is simply the best day that I know
The way you look at me I'm going crazy
The song "This Could Be" by ArmsBendBack is a very emotional and introspective piece that deals with the intense feelings of being lost and helpless. The lyrics describe the sensation of feeling like one's mind is spinning out of control, leading to a sense of screaming and shouting to be let out. The idea of losing control is highlighted throughout the song, with the artist saying that they cannot avoid what they cannot control. This feeling is then contrasted with a shining light that comes from within, which makes them want to shine their heart, but this struggle between the darkness and the light is one that cannot be ignored.
The lyrics are incredibly powerful and reflect the deeper emotions that we all experience at times. The use of repetition in the lyrics emphasizes the cyclical nature of the feelings, which can cause the mind to feel as though it's running "round and round." The artist's ability to transform these emotions into music is incredibly impressive, and their interpretation of these sensations through sound is simply beautiful.
