Biography

San Diego, United States (1993 – 1994)

For those who have never heard or seen Antioch Arrow, it is a pretty impossible task to describe them to you. Because while listening to them on record or live you are for the most part baffled at what is happening. While some critics have dismissed their creations as ludicrous and simply too weird, other critics and their fans hold them in the highest regard for exactly those reasons. An Antioch Arrow album or performance is an overwhelming art explosion of noisy poems sprayed in your face in one minute bursts. Sort of like someone emptying cans of Mace in your eyes. These stinging chemicals are saying something to you which really makes you think once you can see again, and you sure as hell won’t ever forget the experience. From 1993-1994, Antioch Arrow took the San Diego art hardcore scene to the highest apogee imaginable, and it was beautiful.

    Wrong songs on top. For the new ones who come here from the hardcore side, try In love with Jets first, not Gems.

    Great band, easy to see why Justin Pearson regards them so highly.

    this band is not screamo... it's sex between post-hardcore and dark-goth cabaret

    For anyone who likes emo/screamo/hardcore, i'm putting out a really awesome compilation with big names like Birds in Row, Old Gray, Calculator, мища and more, along with a bunch of smaller bands. Here's the preview, check out the other albums (including the first volume of the comp), and like my label and our partner label (the name is also a joke) http://interskramzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/interskramz-volume-2 https://www.facebook.com/InterskramzRecords https://www.facebook.com/pages/INSRGNT-Arts/115929735160540

    Have to admit, Gems of Masochism is pretty damn impressive. Long live the early days of emo.
