Progressive art rock band With Our Arms to the Sun<\/strong> is the second act to sign with the new-launched Fade to Silence Records<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With Our Arms to the Sun<\/strong> is a breath of fresh air in a musical landscape dominated by pop formatted bands. The Arizona desert-based foursome crafts a brand of cinematic conceptual music that aims to evoke emotion and inspire thought in listeners.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“My son and I went to see John 5<\/strong> perform in East Texas and as luck would have it, With Our Arms to the Sun<\/strong> were the supporting artist,” said Fade to Silence<\/strong> founder Paul Bibeau<\/strong>. “Upon taking the stage, the band took complete control of the room and I was locked into every second of their performance. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. It felt has though the band was playing the very last concert ever and wanted to put it all on the table.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With Our Arms to the Sun’s<\/strong> first release through Fade to Silence<\/strong> will be a reissue of the band’s self-released ‘A Far Away Wonder’ EP on CD and vinyl.<\/div>\n

We were anti-label for the longest time and did everything DIY,” said With Our<\/strong> Arms to the Sun<\/strong> vocalist\/guitarist Josh Breckenridge<\/strong>. “We recorded and distributed all of our own albums, and even made our own merch. One of the reasons we were not interested in being on a label was that we wanted to retain our sound.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Paul immediately understood what we were going for as a band and rather than be a typical industry person, he encouraged our growth towards being a conceptual band. Also the chance at being one of the flagship bands on a new label that has a creative philosophy really appealed to us as artists.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With Our Arms to the Sun – which is completed by Joseph Leary<\/strong>, Joseph<\/strong> Breckenridge Jr.<\/strong> and John Mclucas<\/strong> – has three self-released recordings to their credit.<\/div>\n
