intro

"Raucous, not-quite-four-minute melange of neo-punk noise" from much touted New York-based trio

A raucous, not-quite-four-minute melange of neo-punk noise, the sophomore single from New York-based trio A.R.E. Weapons comes crashing through the speakers like a Doc Martin-booted foot. Blending Sabotage-era Beastie Boys beats with street-wise vocals, and throwing in masses of distortion for that cheap 'n' gritty effect, 'New York Muscle' is the sound of a dive-bar band turned up to 11. Head-banging fun, if you fancy that sort of thing.
