Bronson Arm is a 2-piece noise punk band hailing from Kalamazoo, MI. Featuring Blake Bickel on baritone guitar/vocals and Garrett Yates on drums, the duo delivers a stripped down and percussive dissonance that refuses to be ignored. 

Exploring dark rhythmic tensions and erratic mood shifts in an anxiety laden landscape, Bronson Arm’s quickly evolving body of work effortlessly meanders from slow burning dirges to spasmodic jolting bangers. As the band briefly dips their toes into elements of no wave, noise rock and punk....you might hear hints of artists like Metz, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, and KARP. 

Having played drums or bass in his previous musical endeavours - Shotgun Moses and The Great Goddamn (Bleeding Light Records, Void Assault) - Blake approaches his guitar like a percussive instrument...plucking and raking atonal drones upon Garretts explosive pummelling of the drums.

Following the release of their EP “Tosser” through Off White House Records (Canada)-Bronson Arm toured the mid-west with Bedtime Magic culminating with a perfrormance at Caterwaul 2022, featured on complications by both Forbidden Place and Learning Curve Records, shared the stage with Mr Phlyzzz, Kal Marks, and Teen Mortgage. 2023 sees the band releasing their new EP, finishing a full length, and touring in the spring/fall spreading their unique noise into new regions of the US and beyond.
