The story goes that this band feigned their own deaths and hid in a Swedish forest to avoid mandatory military service. I don’t know whether that’s true or not, but it sure makes a great story. They also say they’ve never heard Bad Brains or Black Flag. I guess they don’t need to now, because they have a sound that falls slap bang in the middle of both, and both those bands are way overrated anyway. Only these fuck-ups have a way cooler distorted sound that gives them the garage punk appeal without any cheesy 60s pilfering. It spits. It pukes. It rumbles. And it fucking rocks! Raw yet powerful, which listening to most bands that try their hand at ripping punk rock ‘n’ roll lately would seemingly be a difficult thing to achieve. Not for C.Aarmé it ain’t.   Read Full Review >>

Harmless, Blondes, and Ulrika Johnson are three things that come to mind when you mention the Swedish, another thing that should really be at the forefront of your stereotypes should be class-a punk rock. C.Aarmé are yet another band to come off the Swedish punk rock gravy train and yet again it is of a very high standard. Peoples opinions tend to be fairly divided when discussing their nations counterparts ‘The Hives’ (I personally love them) but if you can imagine their distinct sound blended with the manic diversity of ‘The Blood Brothers’ then you are close to hitting the nail on the head with C.Aarmé.   Read Full Review >>
