Leeds punks BROKEN ARM unveil 'Life is Short' video

17th of September 2014, 17:38

Having just released their debut album on Gringo Records/Art for Blind, Leeds' punks Broken Arm share the new murderous video for album title track, 'Life Is Short'. Shot in twelve hours, the video was inspired by the French film Man Bites Dog/It Happened in Your Neighborhood, general low budget horror and grim kitchen sink dramas. Watch it below...

 

Broken Arm's debut full length is an exercise in grooving noise rock, filth and disillusionment. Broken Arm have the perfect knack for writing a catchy post punk tune and smearing a healthy amount of dirt all over it. 

 

Broken Arm formed in Leeds in the late 2000’s from the ashes of noise punk outfits Sailors, Woman, Like a Kind of Matador and more recently Mob Rules. Their debut release “Shields Mystical” was a short and punchy CD EP released in 2008. After a lengthy absence the band eventually followed up with their first outing on vinyl, the 7” EP “Negative” released in 2011 by Gringo Records.

 

Once described by the band themselves as agro-party punk, Broken Arm’s sound is frequently compared to that of various US hardcore punk bands, primarily from the rosters of AMRep, Touch and Go and SST Records. Their debut album Life is Short sees them flit effortlessly between their two distinct musical personalities, the catchy and scrappy noise rock band and their more reflective and at times dirge ridden side, sometimes within the confines of a single song.

 

The album is split release between Gringo Records (Nottingham) and Art For Blind (Cork, nee Leeds) and will be released on Vinyl and digital download only. The album was recorded in Leeds by Matt J (Hookworms, Joanna Gruesome & Mazes) at Suburban Home.

When one is young, one does not think about the fact that one day everything will be over. And that is also beautiful and exciting, because as you get older, you look at the past differently.
