Louis Lingg and the Bombs are goddamn punk-rock-garage-pop-anarcho
saviours of the 2 and half minute pop song. The bombs they throw are musical,
they come from Paris (they could only come from Paris!) and they'll grab you and
demand your instant attention.
Their sound is a mix of ultra-political anarchic punk rock and fizzing
children's nursery rhyme riot-pop. Laced with so much energy and a whole sonic
attack of chaos and fizzy energy, they throw a crazy live party. They could
start a riot in a phone box and regularly blow up little bars with pop Molotovs
and bang bang boom boom punk rock energy!
The group is named after Louis Lingg, the famous Chicago anarchist who committed
suicide on death row in 1887 after the first May Day protests. Some of their
songs are ultra-political anarchic punk rock and some are children's nursery
rhyme riot-pop. ALL of their songs are full of fun-fun-fun pop hooks! Their
music is 100% DIY and is mostly recorded in their bedrooms. Made with cheap
instruments and broken computers, their records sound great. Homemade DIY music
doesn't mean sub-standard. Their sound is a manic, punk rock explosion - a poppy
riot starter.
