The Arm's self-titled debut is now up for sale in the releases section, where you can also preview some tracks. The Arm formed as a one-off joke back in 2002 and never really came to the punch line. Comprised of Sean O'Neal (This Microwave World) on vocals and keys, Alex Lyon (Zykos) on guitar, Kevin Bybee (On!Air!Library!/TMW) on drums, and Alex Ramirez (A Tiger Named Lovesick) on bass, the fearsome foursome have been wreaking havoc on stages across the country. "We're out there to destroy every night," warns O'Neal. "Whenever we play a show, and we have to open for somebody, I think of us as these four ordinary guys that are going to come in off the street and kill your band." Influenced by late-Seventies stalwarts the Birthday Party and the Fall among others, The Arm fuse the Seventies Punk Aesthetic into a cacophony of ear-splitting guitars, jagged riffs and heavy beats. The Arm! is their first LP and the band is currently working on a new record with producer, Chris Zane (Les Savy Fav, Inouk, Calla). With an eventful SXSW behind them, these boys will be touring, recording, and fighting pompous Kiwis throughout 2005.
