     While drunkand dour a man decides that is best to lift himself from the ahses of his failure and to create a new god for himself.  He decides that it is time to smash his idols and to revolt against the forces that claim his origin.  So he buys a 50 dollar guitar and spray paints gunshot wounds and flames across the exterior.  He cracks another pint of whiskey and reads some Bukowski while spinning a Stooges record on the turntable.  By the end of the night he has written a few cranky blues tunes and plugs his guitar into the stereo and pretends to sing like Tom Waites.  The next thing you know, he's driving around the country in a gold mini-van with tinted windows.  He's driving to the next show where he will be singing rowdy sonnets to drunkards and strange women in forgotten cities.  But before surpassing the brink of self destruction and careening into the horizon, he slams his brakes to pick up a lone hitchhicker on the road to nowhere.  The traveller is a grisly fella with a heart of gold and an unwavering desire for all that is possible.  In his eyes one can't miss noticing the battle between control and chaos.  He hops in the van and says, "keep goin' this way 'till we can't go no more, and when you get to the end, pretend that we just started.  Don't stop for nothin'."

     Originally conceived as a one man band, Guitar Bomb has evolved into a two piece combo of guitar, drums and vocals.  For their upcoming release, "Happy Hour At The Silverado", this genre crossing duo is dedicated to delivering punk rock credibility to the blues.  If there is a single act that can tip its cap to the old delta Mississippi players of the 30's and shake a fist with the punks of the 70's and thrash with the head bangers of the 80's, it is Guitar Bomb.  With their fair share of touring throughout the US and Canada one can expect to see or hear more about this act.

Sounds Like:

If Bob Dylan had a mohawk and his best friend was Charles Bukowski, then they would drink together and find a woman that they could have a threesome with.....

"....it's hard not to lay them down besides White Stripes, Bantam Rooster, and Flat Duo Jets, which is no slacky company. In fact, these fellows do rawk, with more kinship to John Spencer and Black Lips, because they embody something swampy, nasty, fungal, late-night, and loitering...If you wanted ZZ Top to play rough'n'tumble, tattooed and cantankerous, punk-drone, broken-axle jump-blues and rockabilly, this is the real rebel flag to drape over your mud-caked truck. Sweltering and full of shellac."
        --Left Of The Dial

"....Shockabilly with a bit more of a country chaser. Reminds me a bit of The Flat Duo Jets as well, though not quite so raw. The edgy guitar sound is great, as are the bluesly licks. Nothing complicated, but awefully impressive when played loudly."
        ........--Aid and Abet

"....The Return of this back alley cat introduces Matthew Brundrett to enhance his repertoire together they bring us Happy Hour At The Silverado--11 guitar pickin' good tracks topped off with curled lip vocals influenced by the great music that is made in the USA. Catch 'em on tour; catch 'em at your local, but don't miss out on this one, this Brooklyn kid is going places. Shit, this deserves three shots o' the best hooch in town!"
        --New York Waste

"....Finally, dude trades in the loop station for a drummer and gets "Dirty, Bluesy, Bar Rock" right. Look past the fact that Happy Hour at The Silverado contains multiple re-recordings of earlier tracks: this is the difinitive Guitar Bomb platter. Heavy, drunk, blues that'll snap your head clean off. "Shit Stains" will remind you what you like about loud ass electric guitar."
        --Pop Headwound

"....Fairly minimalist bluesy bar rock. I liked some of the older stuff, but at this point, the sleaze shtick kind of wore thin on me. Case in point: The Minor Threat 'cover,' of 'Straight Edge' that tries to pull the ol' switcharoo, even though he's actually playing 'Out of Step.' GET OUT OF MY DISC MAN."
