Album Description

After releasing three full-lengths for Solid State Records, South Carolina's Stretch Arm Strong signed with We Put Out and recorded "Free At Last" with producer James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Academy Is, Underoath) and mixer Ryan Greene (NOFX). Then they headed to Europe for the summer festivals and some sold out dates with Pennywise. They're currently on a co-headlining run with Haste The Day. Look for upcoming US tour dates. With the record of their career, new management, and a new label, Stretch Arm Strong are refreshed and poised to take over the world.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Urgent HxC.......2006-08-06

I'd put SAS on par with Rise Against and maybe Strike Anywhere. Clean vocal hxc punk with pop sensibility and shout out loud chorus'. If you like NOFX, Rise Against, Story Of The Year or Thursday, you'll like SAS and 'Free At Last'.

5 out of 5 stars Solid.......2006-01-15

I picked up this album based on a review in HM magazine. It got a 4 out 5 and I've been a fan their music since their early days. Was it what I was expecting? NO not at all! But that's a good thing. There is definitley alot more clean vocals in this release, and it turned out to be a really good thing. I love the whole trend of Scream/Sing flowing through about every track. The chorus's are very catchy and will have you chanting along after a few listens. And the lyrics, are really mellow and simple, which is good at times. It also shines with very fast punk rythms and the signature Stretch screams. This band has provided us with a great mix of punk and hardcore. I Like alot, pick it up, most likely you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect blend of herbs and spices..........2005-12-26

Stretch Arm Strong has really blended a more evolved sound (a.k.a more singing) while still maintaining much of the feel of their older albums. So many bands seem to go fully one way or the other but these songs are a really nice balance. Melodic when it should be, hardcore when it should be and just well-done all the time.

SAS kinda fell off my radar since so many other bands that I discovered along with SAS either broke up or took a turn for the worse. Luckily SAS is still going strong.

5 out of 5 stars A True follow up to Revolution Transmission.......2005-12-19

Being that Revolution Transmission is one of the greatest albums ever it is great that we finally have a follow up worthy of this praise. This cd is the ultimate blend of punk and hardcore. It has everything you would want in an album. It has punk tendencies but does not forget about breakdowns and two-steps. I love the sound that SAS has evolved to over the years and I can tell that this cd will be one that will be hard to pry from my cd player. It only takes a moments listen to "The Hardest Part" to know that this cd rulles! So pick a copy up if you haven't already especially if you are in to SAS at all. It is WELL worth the money spent!
