THE BOMB PARTY - Life's A Bitch EP 1985

Quite a slaughter I would call the three songs of the English Bomb Party from Leicester which are on their third EP on Abstract Records. The unholy alliance was founded in the early 80s and consisted of Jesus (vocals), Mark (guitars), Sarah (bass), Steve (drums) and they took the name from a novel by Graham Green and so the band was born. They released in their lifespan a few 7Inches and four albums. On the back stand "Recorded Live @ The Triangle/Birmingham" but I'm not sure if that's true. Actually, it doesn't matter, a slab with this truly incontestable title is interesting. In the end of 1989 they played a 13 date tour of England, plus a mini-tour of Germany, before performing what turned out to be their last ever gig, at the Mean Fiddler's Powerhaus in London, on the 17th December. The following year they released their fourth album, Nativity #3, recorded in Germany without Sarah, who had other commitments. This was to be their last recording, and the band effectively ceased to exist on it's completion (taken from a press release in 1989). Bonny record!
