A mixture of Emo, Punk and Rock-Elements that is inspired by the Sound between 2000 and 2010. A variety of sound and style-fragments merged into wonderful Punkrock songs. Whilst vocals and guitars are almost surrounding you from every side, providing harmonies and rocking tunes, the rhythm group pushes forward - a groove that let's you dance, kick and scream like there's no tomorrow! First influences were NOFX, Millencolin, Samiam, Jimmy Eat World, TFP and Unwritten Law - later they some more EMO styled bands like Hawthorne Heights and Taking back sunday..... The Band 20 Days Dull exists for more than 15 years and is still going. The 3 have found their love to music already in young ages and have always kept improving their abilities and horizon. Influenced by Rock and Punk Rock the idea of a band was born. The founder and singer (Marco) was from the moment of starting the band - and still is - like the glue that keeps everything together, preserving the dream, whilst fighting to achieve a place in the music environment was always part of his everyday striving and struggling to get his message out to the world. Throughout all these years he never gave up - no matter what happened. Long time overdue... 2008 - The decision was made. An album should be recorded. With lots of love for the details and a nonetheless grand amount of madness the plan succeeded. After a lot of sweat, big hassles and some nearly nervous breakdowns the album was finished at the start of 2014. Somehow you could say the album reflects those last 15 years of band history. You can hear and feel the musical influences of all those involved in the process, as well as all those special moments that went into the long production of theirs debut-album "What Would You Say". As of the content this album deals with morality, and those little things between humans every day that finally matter so much. If you listen closely the album has to tell a lot. It is not political. It runs deeper and asks, why humans are more and more losing those old values as respect, empathy and helpfulness, which we learned as children. Evolution... The band had to undergo some changes in all these years. Some left, others joined and carried over those ideals and music the band presents. Marco the dyed-in-the-wool band leader now has found in Mike and Jens such musically nerdy members as himself. The new album is in progress which will have as well somme of this nostalgic moments and feelings as it will have a much more positive vibe with lots of new musical aspects adopted by the band over the years. What remains is the love for the small details and the undaunted will to continueo walking on a not so easy way. 2020 Back to live... The year started quite good with support Gigs in Germany and a short trip to PERU just the last few days before live music ENDED.(CUSCO 13.03. and LIMA 14.03.20) As a consequence of the developments the band focused more on the works for their new album (planned for middle of 2022) as well as another 3 Song EP which will gap the time inbetween. Hopes are to get back touring along with the release of the new album in the middle of 2022 - if there will be any live opportunities left ?! 20 Days Dull Emo - Punk - Rock from Southwest Germany Song: Best Friend A song for all that have ever been stuck in the "friend"-zone and had to watch their crush fell in love with another one. # Beeing the "best friend" (Video release on Youtube, September 30th 2021) - The first glimpse on the new album that is set for middle of 2022. - November 2021 to February 2022 will appear another 3-Song EP to reduce the waiting time. www.20DaysDull.de / info@20DaysDull.de

Crazy Arm belated album launch tour in October!
Devon punk-roots trail-blazers, Crazy Arm, head out this autumn on a belated UK mini-tour in support of their new album ‘Dark Hands, Thunderbolts’. The album, their fourth on Xtra Mile Recordings, was released this January to rave reviews from critics and fans alike. This short UK tour includes two dates with their good friends, The Skints, while the London date is part of Till The Fest: a three-day independent punk festival featuring many luminaries of the UK underground. Crazy Arm headline the other four shows.
TOUR DATES 25th Sept – Junction, Plymouth (w/Okay, Bye + Bus Station Loonies + Heavy Heavy Hands) 5th Oct – Exchange Basement, Bristol (w/Erica Freas + Okay, Bye)6th Oct – Waterfront, Norwich (w/The Skints)7th Oct – MK11, Milton Keynes (w/The Skints)8th Oct – The Exchange, Keighley (w/Sounds Of Swami + Homonym)9th Oct – Labour Club, Lincoln (w/The Capital + Other Half)10th Oct – Till The Fest, New Cross Inn, London (w/AIHN + Lightyear + WACO + more)
ALBUM REVIEWS “Staggeringly ambitious” 9/10 Classic Rock Magazine “A clever, expansive version of punk rock” 4/5 RNR Magazine”Tales of alienation wrapped up in a succession of ferocious riffs” Uncut “A propulsive, explosive return” 8/10 Vive Le Rock “A unique band at their very best” Punktastic “A fabulous collection” 5/5 Morning Star “A stunning album” Razorcake “Totally visceral and vital” 9/10 The Soundboard “Could already be one of the best albums of the year” 9/10 Noizze “A remarkable piece of work” Shout Louder “Some of the most outstanding music from these shores in a long time” 5/5 The Punk Site
‘Dark Hands, Thunderbolts’ is a return to the rowdy guitars, epic choruses and Americana twang of Crazy Arm’s first two albums. This collection of songs finds the band in a reflective but no less indignant mood. It features the heaviest, the lightest and the most expansive songs that the band have recorded, with a strong cinematic influence at play, betraying their fondness for Ennio Morricone, Murder By Death and Constantines. Of course, their stock-in-trade – breathless punk rock riffola, Appalachian harmonies, syncopated rhythms, anthemic singalongs – are still very present and correct.
