Bands You Need To Know - Crazy Arm
Written by Roo Pescod Saturday, 09 January 2010 21:07
Below is the first (official) band submission from Roo Pescod of UK hopefuls Bangers. This is something you guys are gonna see a lot of, because, really, I bet you get tired of hearing from us all the time, and it's nice to hear from someone who's actually doing it. Make sure to check out Bangers' Art of the Underground 7" and split with fellow Brits Break the Habit.
Crazy Arm play tighter and harder, more intricately, more tunefully, more passionately and more enjoyably than the majority of the UK scene. Every time I’ve seen them they create the same wall of rocking, twanging, sweating punk rock with a country throb whether the venue is a packed 400 capacity music club in their hometown or an old university boiler room in the cold, bleak North.
On top of this they have the sort of "real songs" that you can sing in a bus queue with your headphones in and your hat pulled down and feel embarrassed about later because you meant to keep it under your breath but just couldn’t as everything stopped and Darren roared "stick to the path that you have chosen" and the music triumphantly galloped back in.
In short, if I had to bet on one band I give two shits about to become "the next big thing", my money would be firmly behind The ‘Arm. And hopefully I’ll be cashing in on those bets soon enough as they embark on tour with Frank Turner and Chuck Ragan later in the year.
Crazy Arm have a full length Born To Ruin on Xtra Mile Recordings, and as far as I understand are well on their way to writing a second.
