New Bomb Turks w/ The Drowns & DJ Matt Feeney 

Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM

ALL AGES

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.

“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
