When asked about the inspiration behind the track, the band shared: ‘No Arms’ is about being without a way to protect yourself and what belongs to you. Being alone and afraid, not having any means to control the situations that befall on us. The overwhelming feeling of being helpless until we’re not. Until somebody saves us”

Fans had a chance to see the band performing on the final shows of the Mercia Tourwith Thornhill, followed by a quick headlining run in late May into June. The band will then play the Inkcarceration Festival in July before hitting the It’s Not You, It’s MeNorth American run with Chiodos, followed by a performance at Louder Than Life in September.

156/Silence makes intense, foreboding, and haunting music. Their songs are cinematic, blending brutality with intellect. They draw on real and imagined terror, weaving it all into melody and power. Vocalist and lyricist Jack Murray, guitarist and primary songwriter Jimmy Howell, guitarist Ryan Wilkinson, drummer Kyle O’Connell, and bassist Mike Ernst form a formidable unit, forged through shared passions and losses. 2024’s crowd-pleaser, People Watching, was a watershed moment, boasting breakout anthems “Better Written Villain” and “Character Development (Cold Start).”

From a Distance, its spiritual sequel and the band’s first album with Pure Noise Records, ups the ante with gut-wrenching depth and atmosphere. The album is dark and ponderous yet triumphantly self-assured. The group’s reputation as a live force of nature was earned on the road, where they delivered sonic devastation touring with The Devil Wears Prada, and Fit For A King
