Let insanity reign supreme! Despite their humble beginning as a joke in a friend’s garage, Santa Cruz’s most degenerate six-piece, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS, are…still a joke but a joke told in garages worldwide, and their Century Media debut, “The Game of Life”, finds the band at its birdbrained best. Produced by Zach Ohren of Castle Ultimate (Animosity, Light This City) the sophomore effort offers 12 uniquely dense, hard-hitting songs with such bizarre titles as “Mantipede” and “Taiwanese Troft Trouble”. Daringly dancing on the tiny ridge between sanity, musical ingenuity and sheer craziness, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS are hard to define, hard to pigeonhole and simply need to be experienced!

The name was penned and the songs were written, but it wasn’t until they opened up for The Taste Of Blood on their EP CD release show that the world got its first glimpse of the band’s keyboard-driven, brutally shredding sonic insanity. Of course, the songs were, admittedly, less than stellar (i.e. $h!t), but this didn’t prevent the band from treating audiences all across the USA to their antics, all of 2 months in the making. Impressed by the band’s total lack of professionalism, as evidenced by their being stranded in Colorado on their first winter tour, Process Records blindly funded the band’s first full-length, “Hits From the Bow” (2006). To the surprise of both the label and ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS, the album sold way more than a handful of copies. Feeling the intense pressure brought on by the expansion of their audience beyond friends and family, the band filled a second guitar spot with final member Nick to bolster their live sound for two full U.S. tours. Soon after, Century Media bought the band and their balls for an undisclosed sum.
Drawing from influences as varied as Despised Icon, Cryptopsy, Dream Theater and Between the Buried And Me, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS offer a smorgasbord of sound sure to satisfy the musical munchies of those looking for something different. At the very least, “The Game of Life” offers its own take on what happens when a **** train derails on its way to straight town (we don’t know what that means, either…but we like it).

ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS will spend the summer of 2007 on the "Captain America Is Dead Tour" with Elysia and Knights Of The Abyss, which will be immediately followed by the "Plowing Ballz Tour" with My Bitter End and Moria as well as the band’s first-ever European tour due to early autumn this year. Look for ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS to make sure you will in fact “experience” their new album “The Game of Life” live in its full bloom of lunacy. You have been warned.
