Damn Arms – ‘Test Pattern’

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 6 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Three out of four members of Damn Arms were in a previous band called Snap! Crakk!, before they replaced some members and picked up the pace of their songs upon the name change. Much of their sound lingers on that electro tinged new-rave sound, though that’s probably not a fair description because they were there before NME decided to push this new sub genre revival. The name came from the Matt Groening animated series Futurama, when the main character Fry exclaimed ‘I could fit [into the drain] if I didn’t have these damn arms!’ You probably have to be a fan of the series to get it. The band have had a few tours through Europe, and even got on the road with the now imploded Test-Icicles. I believe they are heading out to the UK soon early next year after they recorded their new album with producer Lindsay Gravina of Birdland Studios in Melbourne.

    Snap! Crakk! were a lot like The Faint. I like these guys just for the fact that they’re Futurama fans.

  2. [...] Oh thank you Jerry for pointing out this band. Good stuff. Maybe some of you cooler kids already know this band… they’ve toured Australia with The Kills, Test Icicles, We Are Scientist, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, etc, etc, etc. They are building quite the resume. [...]
