Bomb the Music Industry sound like a blend of hardcore punk, skate punk, and ska, with an overall attitude that is energetic and positive. They are a very fun band because they don’t sound angry, as one might expect of punk rockers, the vocals sound fairly good natured even when all the band members are screaming them at the top of their lungs. Another cool thing about them is that they record and distribute their music themselves, offering their discography for free on their website http://bombthemusicindustry.tumblr.com/, which is why I didn’t post a link. Unusual elements often find their way into the music, such as keyboards and synths, and they frequently use acoustic guitars giving some songs a folk-punk feel. In short, this is a band any fan of punk rock should hear just because they really breathe life into their music with their sense of free spiritedness (is that a word?). They’re a better, more creative, more intelligent, more fun version of NOFX, if that helps anyone. This is an EP with seven songs and is consistent with the quality of their previous work, especially their last album Scrambles (2009), despite being a bit slower. “All Ages Shows” is more or less a power ballad. The first half of “Struggler” and “Slumlord” are also more on the mellow side, and even the full-band sections feel a bit less energetic. Still, this shouldn’t disappoint fans.
