There's nowt like raucous RAWK to get yer nads pumping. That's what my old man used to say to me...while chasing me about with a spatula. The 'Bombs are a two piece (guitar and drums) outfit who like wine, women and amateur dramatics (probably). They write snappy, simple rock songs (totally) in the vein of Swearing at Motorists. The drums are suitably pounding, the guitars are sharper than a shipment of knives going to Len Mcstabbys. The recording sounds great, a really rich sounding album. No room for sweeping orchestration or programmed beats here, all songs were recorded live and they don't really need any of that bullshit..well worth a listen if you like to ROCK!!!...and then have a bit of dinner then go to sleep.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· Nearly a decade of friendship has left McGuinness and Heaney, collectively
known as Swanton Bombs, able to read each other’s thoughts, a fact that is
evident on their 2008 ‘Mammoth Skull’ EP and their hugely acclaimed full length
offering (which was a free CD insert on ‘Mammoth Skull’), ‘Smoke Over
Swanton’. Their chemistry is equally manifest in their extraordinary live shows,
one of which caught the attention of Turnstile Music. After signing Swanton
Bombs to a partnership deal, Turnstile helped them set up their own imprint,
QUIFF, upon which they are releasing their forthcoming album ‘Mumbo Jumbo
And Murder’, a brilliantly propulsive and raw slice of blues-rock.
· If, light years from now, people ever want a snapshot of youth and young
manhood in 2010, they could look no further than Swanton Bombs; to listen to
their music is to experience vicariously the reckless thrills and irrepressible
energy of a new generation, distilled to its rawest, untainted,
unvarnished essence.
· Available as a digital download and strictly limited edition heavyweight
vinyl (500 copies). The LP features an etched code on the runout groove
for a free digital download of the album.
