BOMBA X - s/t - LP

Never Mind the Balearics, here’s some punk rock from Mallorca. Bomba X, featuring seasoned old hands from the hardcore scene including an ex-pat Brit, pump out some old school punk drawing on a range of influences including The Ruts.
If you say Balearic, people think dance music, but there has long been a thriving punk scene in these islands – particularly Mallorca. Bomba X is its latest punk rock export, featuring some seasoned veterans from the hardcore scene. Bomba X has members of Mallorcan bands Bad Taste, Disease and Oi! The Arrase (Palma’s Anarcho punk meets Oi! answer to Oi Polloi). Hampshire ex-pat Paul whose provenance includes Older Than Dirt and This is Brainwash handles the bass duties. Old punks don’t die, nor do they stand at the back as the old t-shirt used to say. They refuse to be quiet, and revert to type. If they’ve got the bug, they can’t stop making music. It’s in the blood!
The more I listen to this album, the better it gets. There’s something different every time I play it. There are hidden layers. That is the sign of good song writing, good performances and good production.
This is an international DIY release made possible by the collaboration of Suspect Device, TLJH records,, Rekord-ando, 1984 and Leatherfest. (Louder Than War)
