Bomb the Music Industry!


Bomb the Music Industry! were a punk/ska/indie band from Baldwin, New York that formed in 2004 and played their last show in 2014. This project has had a slew of members and musicians involved in it over the years, however the Mark E. Smith of the band is singer/guitarist Jeff Rosenstock. Hopefully that name is familiar, since he's put out two phenomenal solo albums in the past two years. Laura Stevenson also played keyboards and sang for them at a point, and she is probably the other most well-known member (who also happens to have some incredible solo material). BtMI! focused heavily on DIY ethics, making their name very fitting. They put out quite a few albums through their years, and I'd go as far as to say they're one of the most notable punk bands to come out post-2000. Rosenstock's songwriting skills matched with a strong, full band (including keys, percussion, and brass instruments) behind him make for some catchy, insightful, and energetic music. Don't know what else to say, just get on this if you haven't already. Enjoy.

    1. Hey! Would it be a problem if you upload a zip of Ethiopians, Hits Set, and the Weeds theme song? I didn't even know those tracks existed. I also have the Vacation bonus tracks Don't Destroy Yourself and Untitled 4, if you're missing those

  3. Have to say it was very cool to see this BTMI on here! I'm from the same town as Jeff and have a lot of good memories of seeing ASOB going back to the late 90's. Baldwin was also home to a lot of big names including members from Taking Back Sunday, The Movielife and even Dee Snider himself.

  4. Thanks for introducing me to some incredible music! I went over to their "Quote Unquote" page to see this and more, but it was your page here that introduced me. Not sure how I missed all this for so many years, but I'm thrilled to find it now!

    Also, the link for Scott & Aubrey's Wedding 7-inch is broken. It goes to their blog, but from there the hosting site no longer has it. Maybe you can put it up yourself? Thanks!
