Never Before Seen, Never Again Found [LP], Arm's Length, Vinyl

Midnight Haze vinyl. Never Before Seen, Never Again Found is the debut LP from Quinte West, Ontario band Arm's Length. Along with it's title, titanic emo punk compositions, and melodic beauty, Never Before Seen, Never Again Found feels like a defining record of a new generation of emo because of where it's from: three young people grappling with the brutality, confusion, and deep-rooted family traumas of 21st century life amid the funerals, farm fields, and stripmalls of a rural, small-town Ontario community, with little hope of getting out. It is a record that is, like all great emo records, stuck in a pit of darkness, clawing and fighting like hell to get into the light. They might not get there, but at least Never Before Seen, Never Again Found is proof of that fight."
