New Bomb Turks are heading to Buffalo Iron Works on Monday, July 28th with The Drowns! New Bomb Turks: Born in the 1990s in Columbus, Ohio, New Bomb Turks are one of those groups that will forever mark the punk rock story. To see a concert of the quartet is to live a forbidden experience, a moment suspended between madness, screams, trances and electric shocks. The leader Eric Davidson does not come on stage, he takes it and leaves it only once the public ko standing. Their records have been published by the best American punks, from Crypt to Epitaph, from Fat Wreck Chords to Gearhead. -Jostone Traffic / Google Translate "Not only have both prole-threat punk bashery and destructo-rock found fresh voices, they've been melded into a seamless new terror all its own” - Alternative Press “Why anybody would’ve cared about a ‘punk rock’ record in 1983, much less 1993, is a good question to ask your clergyman, but these four Ohio boys are the only band I can think of lately that even attempts to play said genre as the rock’n’roll it was intended to be...” – Chuck Eddy Spin Magazine “This [Destroy-oh-Boy] is a Top 5 ever punk rock album. Don’t believe music magazines telling you they all came out in 1975-1978,” says Almqvist. “This was the most important music to me at time when music was the most important thing to me. Enough said.” – Howlin’ Pelle Almquist You’ll never confuse “Lone Gone Sister” with “Good Golly Miss Molly.” The eighth missile on the 14-track blitzkrieg that is “!!Destroy-Oh- Boy!!” is a collision of revved-up guitars, bash-and-crash beats, and vocal snot that sounds like an auctioneer howling over a high-speed R&B party. But, in teen spirit, it is more akin to Richard Wayne Penniman than Nirvana, who allegedly changed music forever. At least until bands like the New Bomb Turks led a ragtag revolt in the other direction, back to primitive caves that spawned rock ‘n’ roll troglodytes throughout the ages. – John Petkovic The Drowns: Like an abandoned T-Rex record found tattered in a gutter, The Drowns amp-up and tear down classic blues based rock riffage and drag it kicking and screaming into modern punk streets. Marrying rough and raw with catchy and bouncy, The Drowns bark thoughtful and relevant lyricism over foot stomping, fist pumping punk rock anthems that get your heart pumping faster than a defibrillator. Featuring former members of Dee Dee Ramone’s band, Time Again, Success, Stone Sour, Madcap,Black Star Riders, The Chelsea Smiles, StrychnineBabies, and CMFT, their live show has garnered them a reputation of unspeakable legend. With a relentless thirst for touring, they are soon to be bringing down the property value in a town near you.
