 | | The lanky, longhaired guitarist for These Arms Are Snakes is having a bit of a laugh at the expense of singer Steve Snere as he thinks back to a show in Washington, D.C., during the quartet's late-summer tour. |
 | | Then, almost immediately after the Snakes plow into their aggressively jagged, post-hardcore roar, Snere launches himself into the crowd; soon, he'll be prowling the back of the room, climbing up poles and exploring the rafters, dangling precariously from pipes and cables, or sticking his face into wires that could potentially electrocute him. |
 | | But These Arms Are Snakes' live sound is as riveting and kinetic as its frontman, a maelstrom of tension, noise, and menace that rarely neglects the power of a great melody, a body-jerking rhythm, or a killer riff. |
