Abacus has announced the signing of West Chester, PA's, Arms of Orion. The band formed in 2003 and is described as "a strong mix of driving melodies, catchy choruses, and intricate musicianship not unlike New Found Glory, Lifetime, and Thrice."

The band will be heading to the studio this June with Shepard Goodman and Kenny Gioia (The Distance, Punchline, Bayside) to record their debut LP. It should be out in the fall.

You can check out tracks from their last EP, This Is It on their myspace page.
