The Armed

It's not entirely clear who makes up The Armed, a band which, by the way, supposedly doesn't have a permanent line-up, but uses the creativity of a wide group of friends useful for certain projects. In any case, this is a team that knows American hardcore, metalcore, noise rock and its environs inside out, as evidenced by their album Ultrapop, a noisy rollercoaster of idyllic melodic vistas.
