Bomboras – Songs From Beyond!

NEW BOMBORAS ALBUM… FIRST LP IN 25 YEARS FROM LA’S SURF & GARAGE LEGENDS! 11 new surf instrumental classics! 180 gram black vinyl beauty Out of this world artwork by SHAG! Album liner notes by Deke Dickerson. “This is as good as neo-surf instrumental albums get. Furious instrumentals that combine the surf of Dick Dale and the frenzy of the Ramones with a decidedly dark overtone.” -AllMusic “I have listened to it a dozen times and I am still getting chills each and every time!” -The Continental “Fast and hard like a freight train gone off the surf rails, you’re hit with a wave of punkish guitars, accompanying organ and insanely fast drum beats.” -Exotica Moderne Magazine “I was completely blown away by the bands raucous energy, edgy surf guitar power, and spooky organ riffs.” -Ink 19 Glamorous Go Go girls, looming tiki heads, and Farfisa organs (literally) ablaze are just some of the lasting impressions left by cult 90s L.A. neo-surf band The Bomboras. Now this famously incendiary act is not only picking up where it left off a quarter-century ago, but has returned more inspired and accomplished than ever on long-awaited comeback album Songs From Beyond!, released by MuSick Recordings on May 5. “We somehow exploded creatively when we wrote this album,” said Bomboras guitarist/vocalist Gregg Hunt. “It rocks a thousand times harder than anything else weve done.” Quite a claim, given The Bomboras fire-spitting, stagediving live shows and a string of albums widely recognized as the missing link between traditional instrumental surf/garage music and contemporary neo-surf (“As good as neo-surf instrumental albums get,” raved AllMusic). Initially influenced by the likes of The Sonics, Dick Dale, and The Ventures, The Bamboras caffeinated compositions also channeled punky peers The Ramones and The Pandoras. Recognizing a singularly nuanced old/new approach that would resonate with modern audiences, artist/entrepreneur Rob Zombie signed them to his Zombie a Go-Go label, through Geffen Records. Within three years of forming, The Bomboras were among the planets biggest surf/garage bands. Yet three years later they were gone, leaving a string of smoldering stages and a startling seven-album spasm of a career.
