The Midwestern post-hardcore indie rock of Arcwelder slips subtle vocal and musical hooks throughout their consistent 1993 album Pull

Author & Special Guests

Despite being a three piece, the Midwestern trio Arcwelder put each instrument to optimum use on their 1993 album Pull. A big, post-hardcore sound without layer upon layer of overdubs thanks to off-kilter chord and melody choices that recall heavier 90s acts like Helmet and the next in the vein of noisier drone of Swervedriver. Arcwelder find a consistent, engaging sound that balances indie rock intensity with an accessibility that reveals itself over the course of several listens, the definition of a slow grower.
