Who are Bomb Factory?
It's art punk rock. It's loud; it's spoken word, apoplectic ranting, yelping and screaming to driving rhythms and furious guitars. It's the sound of now and very possibly tomorrow as well. Why? Because we are Bored shitless with off-the-peg, Pop Idol, consumer culture - the Spectacular Society where all you can see are things and their price. We wanted to do it ourselves. We want you to do it yourself. Ideas. Passion. Up yours to a trash celebrity elite created in boardrooms to keep you enthralled, passive, obedient. No more icons anymore. Blow it up, burn it down, kick it till it breaks. That's why.
Some sorts we've played with: Half Man Half Biscuit, The Chapman Family, Towers of London, The Rumble Strips, Bearsuit, Pulled Apart By Horses, Four Dead in Ohio, Thomas Truax, Kutosis, Ten City Nation, The Suffrajets, Black Wire, The Rank Deluxe, Lovvers, To My Boy, The Broken Family Band and people juggling.
Some places we've played: The Junction, Bedford Esquires, Camden Barfly, Hope and Anchor in Islington, Anglia Ruskin University, Brixton Windmill,The Purple Turtle in Camden, Norwich Arts Centre, The Rhythm Factory, Whitechapel and Mills' front room.

Mere words can't describe their live performances, you have to see the band for yourself! ICH have been known to blow ageing punk bands off the stage and even incited stage diving at their unplugged gigs. With sharply observed lyrics and a barrage of guitars, ICH's punk anthems will have you punching the air and shouting along 'til the cider runs out. www.myspace.com/ichcolchesterpunx

WIGSVILLE SPLIFFS - The Wigsville Spliffs are rollin’ into Cambridge for a rare show at the Man on the Moon.
