Eight Arms to Hold You is the second studio album by alternative rock band Veruca Salt. It was released on February 11, 1997, through Outpost/Geffen Records.

Release

The album was produced by Bob Rock. The title is a reference to the working title for the Beatles' film eventually titled Help![1]

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.[1][2] 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.
