Friday, January 15th Anchor Arms is going to be doing a benefit show in Gainesville, FL to help Nick Poot (brother of Jeff Poot, from Kiss Of Death Records band Witches With Dicks) who was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma, pay off his medical bills.

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names? Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it. We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene. Every Wednesday we’ll be […]
Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names? Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it. We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene. Every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back on a different band and this week it’s Gainesville, FL’s punk band Anchor Arms.
James from Anchor Arms was kind enough to fill us in on the Anchor Arms naming tale. The story goes as follows…
“We had started playing together in Dec of ’07 and were a band for a couple of months before we came up with a name. Many awful options that were ALMOST our name were; The Dicks FL, Robert Johnsons Rifle, Duck Hero Of the Day, The Steroid Era and probably a few other horrible ones that i can’t remember. I was at work one day and I was day dreaming about Spongebob Squarepants episodes. I suddenly remembered the one where he gets those sweet blow up arms that make him look strong so he can punk Sandy Cheeks at Muscle beach with how jacked he looks. I recalled that they were called Anchor Arms and I thought it was pretty cool. I went home that day and looked into it and it wasn’t taken, so we snapped that bitch up! I feel as though I am kind of an adult, human spongebob, so it kinda worked out well. In fact, I recently purchased that SpongeBob greatest hits CD that is in stores now and features 17 hit songs from the show. That and the new Bane EP.”
And there you have it. Quite possibly the first and only punk band name inspired by Spongebob Squarepants…

One Short Fall is a punk band from Parsippany, New Jersey. That’s where these dudes are from – Parsippany. Not really relevant to the story; I just like saying “Parsippany”.

One Short Fall is a punk band from Parsippany, New Jersey. That’s where these dudes are from – Parsippany. Not really relevant to the story; I just like saying “Parsippany”. What is relevant is that the band is currently recording four brand spanking new songs. Three will appear on a 7″ split with The Guts and the fourth is a cover song for The Parasites tribute compilation. I don’t know when either album is coming out but that’s because I’m too lazy to research it. What? I have a full-time job! Why don’t one of you lazy asses figure it out and tell me when they’re being released?
One Short Fall did a video shoot at the end of December for their song One Way Trip (To Hell), the first track from their debut full length Nothing Left To Say, and are hoping to have it released by the end of the month.
