"In a world where felt-tipping political statements on your hand is deemed a talking point, god only knows what the average man will make of this... Bomb Factory are battle-cry music for a disaffected youth. This band are essential." The Plastic Ashtray.
"Explicitly political and seething with anger... for those who look first and formost for integrity in their music, Bomb Factory may well fit the bill." Drowned In Sound.
"These songs build and build and build... Totally cool." Brainlove Fanzine.
"I recommend God Loves Us And He Hates You for the total fucking Fugue Hate that Ranting Jack gets himself into by the end." Warren Ellis.
"I am forced to concede that they are, just because of the force of their existence, the best rock 'n' roll band ever." R*E*P*E*A*T.
"It's mental, punky, post-everything... like the Screaming Blue Messiahs resurrected as kamikaze pilots and takes no shagging prisoners whatsoever." Whisperin And Hollerin fanzine.
"Finally a band with real understanding and a lack of any bullshit tolerance towards those that deserve it is making tunes that matter... Bomb Factory really are your new anti-guitar heroes." Heavy Discipline.
"If there is important music to listen to, then I think Bomb Factory is making it. "Just another band" I thought at first, till I heard their music, till I heard the message." Sugarbuzz Magazine.
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, Towers of London, The Rumble Strips, Bearsuit,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, The Rhythm Factory, Whitechapel and Mills' front room.
