Formed in 2011 and featuring members of USA Nails, Death Pedals, It Often Takes A War and Los Bitchos, London noise-punks Dead Arms release their second album ‘Simply Dead’ on Hominid Sounds / Rip This Joint Records. Written throughout 2017 and recorded live over a single weekend in early 2018 at Bear Bites Horse Studio in East London, ‘Simply Dead’ is 25 minutes of bass-heavy aggression akin to the output of Amphetamine Reptile and early Sub Pop records. With a no frills approach to song writing, driving rhythm, ferocious guitar and the ever present guttural howl of frontman ‘General Waste’, all 10 tracks are succinct slices of Jesus Lizard infused garage punk dealing with the big issues of our time from Brexit to Hollywood sex scandals. Following the release of their debut album in 2015 Dead Arms toured throughout France with Blacklisters, Broker and The St. Pierre Snake Invasion and have shared stages in the UK with the likes of Yards, Big Lad, JOHN, Heavy Lungs, Petrol Girls, Thee MVPS, Casual Nun and Bad Breeding.

Personnel: Steve Wheeler / General Waste – Vocals/Lyrics (It Often Takes A War), Alex Brewins / Phil Glitter – Guitar (Death Pedals), Nic Crawshaw / Kitty Techno – Drums (Los Bitchos), Danny Holloway / Danny Five Bands – Bass/Artwork (USA Nails).
