Album Description Second full-length from Los Angeles power pop alchemists Arlo (the most oft-cited comparisons include The Pixies, Guided by Voices and The Ramones - not bad company to keep). Between now and their January 2001 debut (Up High in the Night), new drummer Tom Sanford has joined the fold, strengthening an already formidable force. Stab the Unstoppable Hero builds upon the groundwork laid with Up High in the Night, adding new dimensions to the pop-rock landscape inhabited by singer-guitarists Nate and Sean (ref. the twang provided by erstwhile Beachwood Sparks/Futher guitarist Josh Schwartz on "Up") and including songs written by bassist and resident dangerous Beatles freak, Shmed.

CD ReviewsFun, Infectious Music busconi | Costa Mesa, CA United States | 10/15/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Check out the new Arlo disc -- you will not be sorry that you did. It is a good time -- and their live show is to be seen and enjoyed. I will also warn you NOT to buy into the PitchforkMedia.com review... How weak is that? Look, if we wanted to read the overthought dribble of some critic... we would go to self-inflated sites like [theirs] and do so. As an Amazon reader I am looking to find out if the book/dvd/disc is fun, [garbage] or what....I do not want to read paragraphs from some loser who writes his "critical reviews" for free and posts them all over the net...Listen to the record...see the show...experience Arlo!" The Bill Murray of Rock Bands C. T. Ortez | San Jose, CA USA | 01/01/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Arlo is not a groundbreaking band the way you might consider Nirvana, The Cars, Weezer or the Beach Boys to be. Yet somehow, through amazing songwriting, tight musicianship and intricate harmonies Arlo summon the spirits of these bands and processes it into something they can call their own. I usually like my punk a lot less poppy (Q & Not U, Unwound, Turbonegro, P.G.M.G. and Chavez...just to name a few) but Arlo really pulls it all off with no pretense and LOTS o' HEART! Thats why I kinda consider Arlo to be like Bill Murray. Nobody would ever consider Bill to be the world's greatest thespian, but I have NEVER met anyone that doesn't just LOVE that guy. He's great! He's no Larry Olivier, but you can always count on Bill Murray to be GREAT! Same goes with Arlo. I have had "Stab the Unstoppable Hero" & their first l.p., "Up High In the Night" in heavy rotation since i got them both almost two years ago now!Nothing pumps my muffins like ARLO!!!" Nice Addition to Power Pop Catalog James Vanderwoud | Oak Park, IL United States | 07/25/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This band was the 2nd opener for my favorite Detroit band, the Waxwings. I was pleasantly surprised by these guys - very fun live, good sound, clever lyrics and hooks. Think what Weezer would sound like if Rivers weren't so full of himself."
