CAT# TIRC-003 FORMAT: CD STREET: NOVEMBER 10, 2007

TRACK LISTING:

With two to the east and one to the west, the members of St. Louis-based LEFT ARM straddle the great muddy Mississippi like a vagrant three-legged dog, foaming at the mouth and looking for trouble.

Their new CD, Dissatisoul, is the result of that dog running riot, unleashing an attack of ferocious, primitive garage-punk rock 'n roll. First formed as a disjointed duo in 2002 by drummer Jason Potter (Space Age Palmer, The Cradles, The Detainees) and guitarist Jeff White, LEFT ARM released the full-length debut album Dirty Mississippi Sound on Sluggo Records in 2003. Shortly thereafter, fuzz bassist Jim Stotts (The Cradles, Lost At Sea) joined his old cohorts full time, cementing LEFT ARM's ramrod rhythm section.

Following two additional self-released EPs (Hotmouth Jive and Play 5 Songs with a Caveman) and a revolving door of guitarists (White left in early 2006, as did replacements Scott Walus and Brad Evetts), LEFT ARM continued to evolve with the addition of new axe man Joe Stumble (The Malmsteems, The Urban Druids).

Their latest effort, Dissatisoul, was forged over two sweaty sessions and strikes the listener with the impact of bruised knuckles on a broken jawbone. Dissatisoul captures the raw, primal energy of LEFT ARM's raucous, beer-soaked live shows in twelve scorching new tracks.

Presently, LEFT ARM has staked their claim as the modern kings of the St. Louis underground scene by opening for such road-heavy bands as Gore Gore Girls, The Briefs, GitoGito Hustler, Crimson Sweet, The Riverboat Gamblers, Valient Thorr, The Spunks, Diamond Nights, M.O.T.O., Brain Failure, Thee Fine Lines, CoCoComa, the Hipshakes and The Litigators.
