Songs for a Teargas Sunset by Louis Lingg and the Bombs Louis Lingg and the Bombs : Songs for a Teargas Sunset.
Punk rock to blow your head off.


Acid rain is stinging your eyes as you marvel at the crumbling city walls around you.

It's the end of the world and the last cop wants to beat you to death for planting the last flower in a dirty pothole in the street. Tear gas makes you claw at your face as you gasp at the beauty of the sunset. Red upon red upon red. "Must be all the pollution", you laugh, before you lose consciousness for the last time...

We're a DIY punk band that normally record and do everything ourselves. Records can take a long time to make using this method. A few years ago, we decided to experiment with a different way of doing things. Record a record in two days on pro-equipment to see what happened. Tracks 2-5 are different to our earlier records in that they have an almost professional history.

It was recorded by Hadrien Grange (The Shades and Shit Browne) and Manu Guiot (Mick Jagger, Eurythmics, Sid Vicious, Celine Dion, Patrick Bruel etc.) on a Neve desk that was used to mix the 2nd Oasis album. It was mixed by Steve Kravac in Hollywood. Steve Kravac is one of the mixers that has defined the American punk sound. He has mixed Blink 182, MXPX, Less than Jake, 7 Seconds, Total Chaos, Tsunami Bomb, Youth Brigade and much more. All these cool people for a budget of almost zero. We had a lot of lucky breaks making this record! Turns out Steve is a great guy who is very kind! Tracks 2-5 were mastered by Michael Hateley who has mastered Green Day, R.E.M., Flaming Lips, Deftones, Lou Reed, Madonna you get the idea! It's crazy!

Track 1 was recorded and mixed in our rehearsal room by us before band practice! It won second best song of 2015 by Just Some Punk Songs blog. We're very proud of that as it was up against songs from big bands from the US!

Track 6 was recorded and mixed by Olivier Famin

Tracks 7-11 were recorded and mixed and mastered by me in a basement. They are instrumental versions of songs we've already released and are here by popular demand by independent filmmakers. The vocal versions of these songs have been used over a hundred times for videos and theme songs! It's weird but I think they just resonated with people.
