Veruca Salt's second full-length album, Eight Arms To Hold You features the Chicago band's original lineup of Nina Gordon, Louise Post, Steve Lack, and Jim Shapiro, and was produced by Bob Rock. The album's title is an homage to the working title of The Beatles' Help! feature film and album. Entertainment Weekly praised Eight Arms To Hold You as "the missing link between glum alt-rock and the Bangles, heard in love-ensnared guitar pop like 'Sound of the Bell' and 'Loneliness Is Worse,'" while NME welcomed the album as "a shock to find femme-punkers Veruca Salt coming up with the best love album... ever."

Veruca Salt's original members reunited in 2013, ahead of the band's most recent album release, 2015's Ghost Notes. The album was the first to feature all of the band's original members since Eight Arms To Hold You. In March and April, Veruca Salt will return to Australia for a run of headlining tour dates and to take part in A Day on the Green's Almighty Monster festival tour with the Lemonheads, Spiderbait, the Living End, and more.
