Fantasising About The Boom Bang

Two of my fave finds of 2010 have exciting releases of note.

First up we have The Fantasies, whose unpredictable tracks of varies pastiches of genres and sexy art work have been flooding the musical floodplains for the past few months. Now they have hit us with 'Stuck In My World', a track solely devoted to making you lose your mind.

The Boom Bang have just released their new album, World War Fun, on Nice People Records, and they have a tasty single off it that reminds one and all that they only have one speed - GO! They will pummel you into submission if needs be. And so they should.

Boom! Bang! Early Merry Christmas!

I know this is uber early, but what the heck! Those crazy Oklahomans The Boom Bang have released a track for a compilation called Checking It Twice, put out by Nice People Records, just in time for Christmas, and seeing as we have posted about their Bummer Camp EP and the rad music video for 'We Skeletons' in the past two months, we may as well keep the monthly love in going strong. Their contribution, 'Coast of Christmas Trash', pisses over all others on the comp, and is one of the best Christmas jingles out there. So now you have no excuse to put this on your playlist when Santa comes down your misused, rat-infested chimney early December 25th, do you?

And hey, why not see the tripped out vid Charles made for the track too? Dont say I dont do nothin for ya!

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
