PLAY READING/LEEDS FESTIVALS TOUR WITH AGAINST ME! IN OCTOBER/NOVEMBER


Plymouth roots-punk quartet, Crazy Arm, continue a busy year of touring with appearances at Reading festival on Friday 27th and Leeds festival on Sunday 29th August.

In October 2010, Crazy Arm head out on a month-long, European-wide tour with legendary Floridian politico-punks, Against Me! (plus Canada’s Fu*ked Up on all UK dates). The Euro dates take in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and France and Italy.

The band has had a hectic 2010 that shows no signs of letting up. They toured for three weeks as support to Frank Turner (and Chuck Ragan) throughout the UK and mainland Europe; completed a label showcase tour with The Xcerts; embarked on two further weeklong jaunts to the continent including festival appearances in Belgium and Germany; and made appearances at 2000 Trees, NASS and Leopallooza festivals. They play Reading Festival on Friday 27th August, at 12.45pm on the Lock-Up Stage; and Leeds Festival on Sunday, same time, same stage. Crazy Arm will finish the year with a headline UK tour in December supported by London post-punks, The Dissociates.

Debut album, ‘Born To Ruin’, is out now on Xtra Mile Recordings (Gunner Records in Europe). The band are working on their second, as yet untitled album, in between their demanding touring schedule.

All four members are atheist, internationalist, vegetarian/vegan and support human/animal rights struggles world-wide. They consider these things important to mention even if you don’t.
