Hard twang with sweat-corroded pick-ups. A city-grown abscess bursting out on the moorlands. 16 Horsepower with 100w Marshall heads. Fugazi with banjos, but without banjos.
From Devon, UK, hard-twang, roots-punk quartet, Crazy Arm, properly set up camp in mid-2006.
They very much enjoy listening to 16 Horsepower, Murder By Death, Fleet Foxes, Constantines, Hüsker Dü, The Clash, Fugazi, Dick Gaughan, Austin Lucas, Ted Leo, The Replacements, Gene Vincent, Led Zeppelin, CSNY, Bruce Springsteen and Baroness, and sometimes end up sounding a bit like all of them, sometimes all at once.
The band have toured the UK underground many times, sometimes with other bands, sometimes alone. Their favourite two tours were with Cornwall’s Bangers and Manchester’s Sonic Boom Six.
Debut album, 'Born To Ruin', recorded by Pete Miles on the edge of Dartmoor, was released on Xtra Mile Recordings in June 2009. The title is a celebration of history’s conscientious trouble-makers. Not easy to categorise, and all the better for it, ‘Born To Ruin’ is an accumulation of years and years of influence and inspiration: rooted in hardcore/punk, ‘60s protest folk and classic rock’n’roll. Available at the top of this page. Click on the header banner.
Band members are all atheist, internationalist, vegetarian/vegan and support human/animal rights struggles worldwide. They consider these things important to mention even if you don’t.
Debut 7" limited-edition single, 'Broken By The Wheel', is out now on Seven Inch Records (digital formats via Xtra Mile).
The self-produced demo EP, 'Cross Country', is no longer available so feel free to burn it off someone else.

We do appreciate your support. If you haven't already done so, please check the samples we have uploaded for "Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross".
I see Frank Turner has put "Born To Ruin" in his top ten albums of the year - it's going to top my own top ten although I doubt it's as influential as FT's!!
