Arms Aloft is a punk rock band hailing from the heartland of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Known for their politically charged lyrics and energetic live performances, the group has carved out a space for themselves within the punk community that resonates with a sense of urgency and authenticity. Formed in the late 2000s, Arms Aloft has drawn comparisons to bands like Against Me! and The Lawrence Arms, fusing melody with a gritty punk ethos.

The band's release "What a Time to Be Barely Alive" in 2016 showcases their ability to critique contemporary societal issues with sharp wit and catchy hooks. As their profile continued to rise, Arms Aloft went on to collaborate with French punk band Guerilla Poubelle on the split EP "Taches noires vivantes / Living black spots," which was well-received within the punk community and further established the band's international appeal. Their earlier work includes the spirited album "Sawdust City," a nod to their hometown's history and a testament to their roots-driven approach to punk rock. Arms Aloft remains a band with a message, unafraid to confront injustice and rally for change through their impassioned music.
