Canadian emo band Arm’s Length will headline 9:30 Club on May 18, bringing their emotionally layered sound to one of D.C.’s most iconic stages. Known for their blend of soaring guitar work, aching vocals, and dynamic songwriting, the Ontario-based group has quickly made a name for themselves in the emo and post-hardcore scenes. Their lyrics often center on themes of memory, distance, and vulnerability, delivered with both intensity and clarity. With their debut LP Never Before Seen, Never Again Found, still resonating with fans, this tour marks an important moment in their rising trajectory.
Opening the night is Prince Daddy & The Hyena, a band whose raw energy and unpredictable live performances often blur the line between opener and headliner. Their blend of punk grit and emotional storytelling has earned them a devoted following, and if you’re unfamiliar with them, this set may be the surprise highlight of the night.
