These Arms Are Snakes have revealed a handful of performances across the United States.

Announced today, These Arms Are Snakes will have five performances across the country. In June, the band will perform in Denver, Chicago, and Brooklyn; in July, they’ll perform in Oakland and Los Angeles. Git Some and Young Widows will join as special guests on select dates. Their newly announced dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 1) at

The band have also unveiled the demo version of "Riding the Grape Dragon,” which arrives with a music video directed by Documavision. Bassist Brian Cook said this about the demo:

“We recorded our first four songs with Ben Verellen in his basement studio in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma, WA sometime in late 2002 / early 2003. I remember very little of the session other than sleeping beneath the mixing console after a late night of drinking. The four songs were burned onto CD and mailed to every record label we liked. ‘Riding the Grape Dragon’ was the first song our unexpecting recipients would hear, and it was apparently a strong enough song for people to listen to the entire CD and respond to our unsolicited demos. We got a phone call from Jade Tree just a few days after we dropped our demo in the mail… which was surprising given that we’d forgotten to include any contact info in the package. Fortunately, there were enough mutual friends between us and the label that they were able to track us down, and later in the year we’d re-record the four demo songs plus ‘Drinking From The Necks Of The Ones You Love’ for the This Is Meant To Hurt You EP.”

The demo stems from their forthcoming compilation Duct Tape & Shivering Crows, which features unreleased demos alongside a slew of non-album tracks. Duct Tape & Shivering Crows will be released on April 15th via Suicide Squeeze Records, and it can be pre-ordered here.
