Release Notes:



Despite their humble beginning as a joke in a friend’s garage, Santa Cruz’s most
degenerate six-piece, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS, have quickly developed into a
juggernaut ready to annihilate anything in their path, 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 titles like “Mantipede" and
“Taiwanese Troft Trouble."

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 insanity. Of course, the songs were,
admittedly, less than stellar (i.e. $h!t), but this didn’t prevent the band from
treating audiences in California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Nevada 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. To the surprise of both the label and ARSONISTS GET ALL THE
GIRLS, the album sold 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 2 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 gay train derails on its way to straight town (we don’t know what
that means, either…but we like it).
