Formed in Columbia, South Carolina in 1992, Stretch Arm Strong quickly made a name for themselves in the world of hardcore with their frenetic musicianship and unflinching positivity that crossed boundaries of belief and genre. The band initially went on hiatus in 2008 but made a significant return at Furnace Fest 2021. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before new music would be considered, or maybe not. Plenty of bands reunite to play old favorites and call it a day. Thankfully, not this time. After nearly two decades, the kings have returned with The Revealing, an EP that is so urgent and powerful, you'd think no time has passed at all before they last recorded. No longer being kids and now being full-fledged adults with families and worlds outside of music, the bond between Stretch Arm Strong and their love for playing is a testament to what this music means both for them and the countless listeners that have joined them throughout this time.
