Madam Bombs by Madam Bombs (Self-released)

Madam Bombs present their own dynamic take on the classic punk girl bands made famous by programs such as Rodney On The ROQ and other adventurous radio programmers all over the world.  And this trio of musicians does it so well, delivering an infectious and wildly scorching selection of the songs on their debut Self-Titled album.  Not only do Madam Bombs unleash nine top notch songs that go straight into heart of the matter, but the absolutely brilliant packaging provides a glimpse into the world of this very amazing band on the rise.

From the impassioned refrains of Get Me Out to the biting commentary of Compliment and beyond, Madam Bombs clearly gain the undivided attention of the listener.  Last Dream is a vibrant reverie showing a very diverse and compelling side to the Madam Bombs sound with its gorgeously hazy day melodies.  Thoughts On Paper is a grand slam anthem for the band that will have you singing along to its dazzling choruses.  Liar, Liar demands to be ripped all over the radio airwaves and is one of the many rocking standouts.  Be sure to stay until the grand finale where the slamming (Not) With Me will make you want to launch headfirst into the nearest slam dance pit. 

The explosively talented Madam Bombs lineup consists of Claire FitzGerald on guitar and vocals, Marlowe Shachory on bass and vocals, and Samara Ellis on drums and backing vocals.  With a debut this stunning, it’s no wonder the band is securing shows such the recent Punk Rock Bowling event on Las Vegas as well as airplay on the highly influential KCRW.  Expect Madam Bombs to blast out of the Los Angeles music scene and into the hearts and minds of all music fans looking for their fix of melodic punk rock and roll.  Add in the garage and grunge influences, and you have songs that are truly timeless and well worth seeking out.
