Chicago punk legend Jeff Pezzati of Naked Raygun fame has returned with a vengeance! Backed by a solidified line-up that includes guitarist Jeff Dean (x-The Story So Far,Tomorrows Gone), plus bassist Pete Mittler and drummer Mike Soucy (also know as the pummeling rhythm section of The Methadones), The Bomb is now set for mass destruction. Razor-sharp lyrics with unrelenting and urgent guitars, crushing distortion and intense delivery define the bands post-punk sound. Throw in Pezzatis trademark woah-oh-ohs and vocal scorn and you know its gonna be good!

It was so great to finally meet you guys and see you play. Your set at Court Tavern was a revelation. Hope to see you (and play with you) again real soon!
I had the pleasure and privilege of reviewing Speed is Everything for 89.1 WIDR FM here in Kalamazoo. I'm hoping me recommending every track puts you guys in rotation.
Wonderful music guys,the drums are thunderous,the bass intelligent,super-nice melodic guitar lines and Mr.Pezzati..s vocals are in usual excellent form .I..m an old Raygun-fan and find much to love in your music even though it is quite different. Your newer songs in particular have a very powerful production.Please come to Sweden(or northern Europe) someday. /Cheers from Stockholm,Sweden.
