Arms Aloft are four Leftist punks from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Ya know the quiet person that sits in the corner that only speaks up once a year, but when they do, they say something inspiring, thoughtful, and profound? That’s Arms Aloft. Not the busiest group on the planet, but when the band materializes, the punk scene listens. They are loud and proud socialists (Alright, alright, alright, just the way we like ‘em), and if there’s ever some wacky Right Wing takeover in America *looks around, laughs nervously* they’re coming for Arms Aloft first. But good luck taking on this band, as they’re smart, scrappy, and they literally eat from garbage cans. What a time to be barely alive!
Brendan Kelly is the dude from The Lawrence Arms and The Falcon. Chicago boy done good. Sometimes he goes solo and sometimes he soars with a dubious crew called the Wandering Birds. He’s done a couple LPs and some 7”s with Red Scare, and it’s all pretty freaky stuff: songs about torture, songs about drugs, songs about pervs, songs about serial killers, and songs about your mom. The recordings are definitely not your typical punk acoustic faire as he works with a full band of deviant collaborators, and the live show has been described as Andy Kaufman goes Kafka, but with songs about your mom.
Sincere Engineer began as a solo project for Deanna Belos, a nervous nerd from the same Chicago burbs that gave the world Slapstick and The Brokedowns. Red Scare booked her first real live show, supporting labelmates Brendan Kelly and Sam Russo at Double Door in Chicago. Not long after we released her debut album and got her on some big festivals and a tour opening for The Lawrence Arms. Next thing we know, she’s got herself a full band and a big record deal with them fancy folks out in Smellay! The band continues to grow and keeps a busy tour schedule, and we continue to sing along and cheer for Sincere Engineer…
