the bomb – Austin Town Hall

Nostalgic Pop from Vandal Moon

April 4, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There was a period not too long ago when many a band was revisiting new wave tropes, filling clubs with dancers and a new crop of DJs. Now we’ve got Vandal Moon, a project that seems destined to revisit a revisiting. But, don’t take that as a slight, with an undeniable hook that presses throughout the track. Personally, I love the slow churn of the vocals, supported on this tune by vvervvolf; it’s like being stuck in the spin cycle on everything that made the 80s great. The band will release Wild Insane on April 20th via Starfield Music.

Travel Back in Time with the Bomb

March 9, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There are certain sounds that all of us as music listeners associate with great times in our life. No matter what happens in our life, we can always place certain sounds with certain parts of our life. That’s precisely what happens when I listen to this new single from The Bomb; it’s got a little bit of that anthemic punk rock, yet it also has sort of a late-Jawbreaker feel to it (so 97-98 in my life). No Idea Records will release the band’s Axis of Awesome EP on a really special coke-bottle colored vinyl on March 17th…so pre-order it so that it’s at your doorstep when you get back from SXSW.
