Left Arm are from Edwardsville, Ill., and they play rock ‘n’ roll influenced by The Heartbreakers, AC/DC, The Sonics, The Stooges, The Shadows of Knight, MC5, The Animals, Zeke, Motorhead, Fatal Flying Guilloteens, The Oblivians, Bantam Rooster among others. This is a performance that I caught at the Atomic Cowboy. This is some fast, sweaty, loud, boozed-out, garage punk rock n’ roll.
