Band Spotlight: Spanish Bombs
The first time I actually heard of Spanish Bombs was during my interview with Jeff from Modern Life Is War. Fittingly, guitarist Tim Churchman is now the new bassist for MLIW. Regardless, I finally purchased the band’s self-titled debut EP (which was released on Chunksaah last year) somewhat recently. The six-song debut showcases a powerful mix of Born Against inspired angsty-hardcore with the new-school punch and tenacity of MLIW. This isn’t a band that’s interested in mixing in any metalcore riffage or pitbull-esque growling. Where’s all the “real” punk rock you ask? Well, my answer is that it hasn’t been hiding at all. It’s alive, angry and thriving. Spanish Bombs are just another example of this.
**UPDATE** I’ve received news through the grapevine that this band is no more. I wasn’t sure because of the whole Modern Life Is War thing but I’ve been told “it’s done. Regardless, be sure to pick the EP up. Chalk it up to not being on the ball “
You can pick up the EP here.
