about

The Armsmen was an extremely short-lived Danish garage punk band. The band consisted of Sebastian Sharif (vocals, guitar, organ), Dimitris Kafidas (vocals, guitar) and Jelena Bundalovic (drums, vocals). The trio - of Iraqi, Greek and Serbian descent respectively - played all western blues-based music, raucous, amateurish garage rock channeling The Gories' primitive stomp, The Mummies' vintage worship and Oblivians' fuzzed up mayhem.

The Armsmen only existed for little less than a year in 2012 during which they only played one gig: the 40th birthday party of Dimitris' brother-in-law. The band disbanded amicably when Dimitris and Sebastian moved up north of Copenhagen in order to live in a commune.

Despite the short existence, the band recorded a lot of demos with the crude setup of a single, cheapo condenser-mic placed in the middle of the rehearsal space. This is it.
