About Me

LEFT ARM has a new album out now on TIRC Records called Dissatisoul.
LEFT ARM is a a loud-ass garage punk rock n' roll band from St. Louis, MO. We've recorded some music and played some shows. We aim to continue both traditions. Come see us play. We'll buy you booze and give you lapdances.
LEFT ARM has been nominated for "Best Garage Band" in the 2008 Riverfront Times music poll.
