ARMS & HEARTS + ED POOLE

is more than a lyric for Arms & Hearts — a.k.a. Steve Millar — it’s almost a mantra at this point. When he sings it, and crowds sing it back at him, the truth in the phrase is clear to see.

The heavy-touring singer/songwriter combines the storytelling and work rate of a classic troubadour and the heart on his sleeve punk rock passion, asserting themselves as one of the most prominent figures in the UK’s underground / DIY music scenes through sheer hard work and persistence.

Equally comfortable on a dimly lit folk club stage or at a loud and lively punk show, Arms & Hearts released their debut album ‘The Distance Between’ in November 2020. The culmination of seven years of work — in which Arms & Hearts released three EPs and toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe and the USA — this album is their biggest, most confident, and most complete record to date.

Arms & Hearts continues to work hard, plying their trade whenever and wherever they can. A DIY musician through and through, when they’re not on the road they’re producing records for fellow artists, booking tours and consistently working to help others within this burgeoning UK scene.
