Limbs are a three-piece indie rock group from Brooklyn, NY. The trio has just unleashed upon us a self-recorded and self-released full-length called Stages. Stages is the music Slint would play if they found themselves playing on an ice-covered pond when the temperature just went above 32 degrees Fahrenheit: the music is just soft enough to keep the surface from giving in, but is still challenging and percussive. Limbs are a band on the edge of several genres. An intriguing emo-punk/indie rock combination, Stages avoids the mistake of choppy starts/stops of lousy punk and over-instrumentation of bigger bands (or bigger budgets), sticking with ambient guitars and frontal-assault drumming carried by a healthy bass line. Check out "A Second Pass" and "Stages".

Head over to Limbs' MySpace to buy the album. The band tells me that they will "hopefully be in Baltimore this summer," so keep your eyes peeled, locals.
