Discussions about the new generations of bands influenced by '80s New Wave and Postpunk

Damn Arms

Well you can’t fault the Aussie four-piece on their confidence levels, but are they right? Judging by their recent tours with Klaxons, Blood Arm and Ratt:Att:Agg, they move in the right circles and their music justifies it. Sounding a bit like a damn ragged version of New Order, Damn Arms draw more on the influence of 80s New Wave than their contemporaries. This more distinctive sound can only work in their favour; synths, guitars, drums, they’re all there and they’re all beautifully put together. And even though they’ve only been a unit for 18 months, they have the authority of a much more experienced band. Now you can see why they’re so damn confident: they have good reason to be.

With Smith lyrics tattooed on their chests, the four's influences include Jacques Lu Cont, Grimson Curse, Gang of Four, My Bloody Valentine, The VSS, Primal Scream and New Order. Get ready to bop kiddies the Damn Arms dance hysteria has started.
