Here Comes Da Boom...
The Boom Bang are from Oklahoma City. They are putting out their first 7" record, Bummer Camp, next Friday through Guestroom Records. Its a tasty 4-track that cleverly showcases both the sound of the band and their temperament also...
SOUND - messy, sloppy, scuzzy, fuzzy, poppy, punky, spunky, funky.
TEMPERAMENT - knockabout, layabout, party-hard, spazztastic.
Their single is, funnily enough, on the B side - 'Run Way Away' - but in my opinion there are stronger tracks on here, including the one I have below, 'We Skeletons'. Its a hell of a lot of fun. Their reference points - from Davie Allan, Dick Dale, and Link Wray, garage bands such asThe Cramps, The Gruesomes, and The Swamp Rats, and contemporay bands like Wavves, The Intelligence, Thee Oh Sees, and Crocodiles - speak volumes.
The Boom Bang - Run Way Away
The Boom Bang - We Skeletons
