about
Silver Arm are a band from rural England that draw on punk rock, post punk, noise and other things to create intense psychedelic music that will not hesitate to tear your face off like a horse with a machine gun. The band are influenced by things like the beautiful green central Bedfordshire woodpecker, early 80s American hardcore, British post punk, fictional languages, heavy metal, The Supremes, the building of pyramids, The Stooges, Devo, tales of rural terror both historical and current, The Mothers Of Invention, The 13th Floor Elevators, the traditional biscuit and shoe-making industries, Fugazi, Sonic Youth, the exploration of new continents and planets and the frigid air that drifts through the copses and lanes of England in the 21st century, which is the same air that drifted through them a thousand years ago. The band's 2012 debut single Hippies and its follow-up Man The Falcons were both played on BBC 6Music by Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson, and received acclaim from the likes of Artrocker, The Needle Drop and The 405. Silver Arm releases new single Dead Tongues on April 29, and they're working on an album for release later in 2013. The band record on Computer Finger Records.
