So my dear friends, and before I turn to soccer, which starts again today, we come to a record from a band that hasn't much released. From Wisconsin came the Bombs and this is their lone record on their own label Bomb Records with two live goodies which were recorded I think in the late Seventies but I have no further infos. This beauty is an example of the high-energy music of the era and features the rawness and lightheartedness of fast and powerful songs that reflect the heyday and direct style of Punkrock. The band was part of the emerging scene and may have played at various clubs and concerts that were important in promoting the rough sound during this era. However, infos about the Bombs and their music are rather limited compared to more popular bands of the era. Fact is they were part of the Bloodstains Across Wisconsin CR-R from 2012 (send me) and that is already a small tribute. Unfortunately, information about the band and their history is relatively limited, as they are not one of the most well-known representatives of scene. They were likely influenced by other well-known bands such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols and the Clash. While the Bombs may not have achieved the same level of fame as some of their contemporaries, they contributed to the diversity and development of Punkrock and their music could be appreciated by collectors today.
