Playing
loud, fast, and hard skate punk in the vein of early Bad Religion and The (late
great) Soviettes, The Bombpops make some of the most infectious punk rock music
with female vocals since…well The (late great) Soviettes. Frontwomen Jen Raz
and Poli Van Dam not only thrash their six strings faster than most skate punk
veterans, they sing better than most of them as well. With well-crafted and well-executed
songs that you can bounce AND mosh
to, their debut EPs Like I Care and Stole the TV will be looked back fondly
upon one day as the hard core-ish humble beginnings of what just might be the
next, hopefully long lived, great skate punk bands.
