Release


The album was produced by Bob Rock. The title is a reference to the working title for The Beatles' film eventually titled Help!.[7]

Eight Arms to Hold You peaked at number 55 on the Billboard 200. The single "Volcano Girls", written by Nina Gordon, was a rock radio hit. Veruca Salt performed "Shutterbug", written by Louise Post, on Saturday Night Live.[7][8] Besides those two, there were three other singles released from the album: "Benjamin", "The Morning Sad", and "Straight".

This was the last album to feature all of the original band members - Gordon, Post, Steve Lack, and Jim Shapiro - until the 2015 album Ghost Notes.
