We can't wait to get back out there to hang out and party with you all. Make sure you check our tour dates on our myspace cos' we'll be coming to a town near you :)

Yo! So, we finished tracking for the album last week after laying down all the claps and oohh's and aahh's. We're so stoked with how everything has turned out and can't wait to share these songs with you all. We played our first show in four months on Saturday at In His Honour. Thanks to everyone who came out to party with us, we had heaps of fun! It was also Marty's last show, which made it extra special to all of us. We all love Marty heaps and wish him well for the future. If you haven't had a chance to say goodbye to him yet, drop him a note on the myspace. New video update will be up soon, as well as our new drummer announcement & new shows. Stay tuned! =D

New Arms Reach treats are here! We hope your eyes, ears, and minds are pleasured by the new song, new photos, new bio & new layout :) Check the blog for more details!



ARMS REACH brings the party to the people with infectious pop melodies and an energetic live show. With a fresh flavour comprised of rock, pop, and electronica – this self proclaimed ‘Dance-Rock’ outfit are determined to put a smile on your face and a groove to your step.



Recognised as one of the most hardworking bands on the New Zealand scene, the collective effort from Alex Price (vocals/guitar), Adam Fitness (bass/vocals), Jimmy Mac (drums), and Jonny Carson (guitar) have pushed the boundaries of industry independence.



Relentless touring and self-promotion, having completed two North Island tours and over 150 shows, has seen the band generate a devoted fan base nationally, and overseas, “We try not to have egos, our fans are our friends, we’re no more important than anybody else”. While the band has always emphasised the importance of having fun, “Good times, all the time”, they take their music seriously.



“We are really striving to do something different musically now”, says Alex. Their independently released 2006 EP ‘Songs About Goodbyes’, and 2008’s ‘The Mega Awesome Extreme EP’ have both sold out and the band is now focussing on new material, “We’re way more finding our own sound instead of just emulating other bands, we’re finding what we really want to sound like”.



ARMS REACH entered the studio in August to record their debut album set for release in Winter 09, and have ambitions to tour the album internationally. Don’t miss the party that is ‘ARMS REACH’…you’re all invited!
