[3] ArmsBendBack's sound can be loosely defined as alternative rock, but the band takes influence from several genres, including hardcore, metalcore, and emo.
After writing a slew of songs together in Slovak's Philadelphia apartment, the duo recruited Brad Sloan on bass and Andrew Kegerise on drums.
[8] The band toured in support of The Waiting Room before parting ways in 2006, with Slovak turning his side-project Century into a full-time endeavor.
The band then created an official MySpace page, where they posted three new songs and announced November 10, 2009, as the tentative release date for their second full-length album on Trustkill Records.
"[9] ArmsBendBack has responded to fan requests to tour, stating that although it would be fun, the band members are all currently busy with other projects, careers, and their personal lives.
