The guitar jangle is extra-pretty. The heavy is extra-heavy. The tripartite harmonies thick and hardcore heartfelt. It's a big sound for just two ladies and a gentleman to make, but anyone familiar with Harkonen, These Arms Are Snakes, Roy, Lozen and Your Enemies Friends -- all current and former projects involving members of Helms Alee -- shouldn't be too surprised by the band's indescribable shitkicking abilities. - Prefixmag.com
It took a while for me to admit to myself, that some people are simply better than other people, like you and me, at stuff. The friendly faces looking down on you from above this text, I think they have the opposite problem as us... By the looks on their faces... you know great ideas develop effortlessly... and your jealous, but there is no argumentative angle in existence that can slight their creation while not making you out to be a total bummer to be around... Through time, you'll come to the same conclusion as me... some people are simply better at things than people like you and me... Likely scenario: tomorrow you'll wake... you'll take the long way down to the pawn shop... the sun will be peaking through the morning overcast and a silent, brisk breeze will be brushing against your face... you will have found peace and liberation in your decision to sell your musical equipment... And you'll have Helms Alee, and the band's overwhelming ability to nail it in whenever/where ever they show themselves, to thank. If your in the market for a clean slate, or simply would like to experience a burgeoning pacific north-western noise-rock band kill it, ten opportunities are listed below. Last, but far from least, Helms Alee will be performing several tracks from their upcoming record throughout the tour.
