Voted San Francisco's Best Rock Band 2008! Go!!!

About Me


WHAT THE GODDAMN PRESS SAYS ABOUT THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME: "Musically the band sound like a beefed-up Turbonegro with an ominous edge, fronted by an Austrian death metal vocalist. "The Greatest..." showcases the band's unique vision that places them somewhere in the hinterland where rock meets metal - and despite being a bunch of complete (and probably dangerous) loonies, this is a victorious debut."
METAL HAMMER
January 2006
"... a work of deranged sublime genius."
TERRORIZER Magazine
January 2006
"If a band is going to call their album something like The Greatest Band Of All Time, when it comes to giving the CD a spin they better be able to back it up with some serious content. Do ArnoCorps deliver on the promise of being a great band? You'd better believe it."
ZERO TOLERANCE Magazine
January 2006
"In contrast to Governor Schwarzenegger himself -- who got his ass handed to him by a bunch of nurses and schoolteachers -- ArnoCorps remains dominant, rousing, and thoroughly hilarious."
EAST BAY EXPRESS
November 2005
"Forget Gold's Gym, if you want to achieve a true pump stick the Greatest Band Of All Time in your CD player. This stuff'll make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus."
Nick Cracknell, TOTAL GUITAR
December 2005
"ArnoCorps are not an Arnold Schwarzenegger tribute band. Do you understand? ArnoCorps sing punk metal songs about old Austrian folk tales, which Arnold has since bastardised for his own commercial gain"
BIZARRE Magazine
January 2005
"ArnoCorps' creativity and attention to detail is astonishing... these guys have to be seen to be believed."
EAST BAY EXPRESS
June 2005
"The ratings are better than ever before and I think ArnoCorps is the reason."
Fook
Q101, Chicago's Alternative
Jan 2005
"What does "the world's only action adventure hardcore rock & roll band" sound like? Aggressive and fast"
MAXIM BLENDER Magazine
Nov 2004
"ArnoCorps shows deliver a delightful mix of hardcore punk and calisthenics: The crowd finds itself ordered to run in place, do jumping jacks, and, should the impulse strike, drop to the ground and pound out a few one-handed push-ups."
Feature Story in EAST BAY EXPRESS
Dec 2003
"The six renegade Austrians that make up San Franciscan punk band ArnoCorps could just be the sanest men in the State."
BANG Magazine UK
Jan 2004
"While ArnoCorps appreciate all this attention, they have no plans to run for political office. Some people say thank you for that."
Lisa Kim, NBC NEWS
August 29, 2003
"...Bay Area band ArnoCorps storm the stage again with an all-out sonic attack."
The San Francisco BAY GUARDIAN
July 30, 2003
"The guys and gal in ArnoCorps do two-fingered push-ups on weak choirboy punks like New Found Glory and Good Charlotte."
METRO, Silicon Valley's Weekly Newspaper
June 26, 2003
"ARNOCORPS: This month's most talked about band."
YOUR MUSIC Magazine
May/June 2003
"ArnoCorps prepare for total punk-rock domination"
METRO, Silicon Valley's Weekly Newspaper
June 5, 2003
"Practically nothing can prepare one for the "action-adventure audio assault" of the punk band ArnoCorps."
METRO Santa Cruz
May 28, 2003
"I am so worked up, I haven't slept since I saw ARNOCORPS at the Aptos Club Saturday."
METRO Santa Cruz
May 7, 2003
"... any similarities to Arnold Schwarzenegger's films are purely coincidental. They're only attempting to chronicle the triumphs and tragedies of Heroes in song."
SCHWARZENEGGER.com
March 2002
"The band espouses the philosophy of Arno, which finds the answers to life's mysteries"
FLEX Magazine
May 2001
