Bombs and Beating Hearts = Harmonicas + pissed off yelling + something I've never heard before
Attention kind reader: please ignore my atrocious equation above and buy this. Bombs And Beating Hearts have produced a one-of-a-kind (it probably isn't, but it's very new to me) album and I'm in love with it, to say the least. I had attended a few of their shows around the valley and never paid much attention to them, but I was sucked in by the first track. When I phrased it to my friends it went something like this: "Yeah, well, it's really upbeat. They have a harmonica and a tamborine and they yell like they're super pissed, and it's just really cool." The best thing about the album is that it doesn't give off the "I'm really creative and unique" vibe. It feels like a group of friends dicking around with some instruments that accidentally created a big fanbase, which I really appreciate. Pacakged inside From Dumpsters Rise is a Johnny Cash cover, which was given a little bit of SLC love to make it special. Unfortunately there is always a black sheep, “Normandie”, was the only really bad song on the album. For those that may call them "Bums and Bleeding Farts", I can only say "Fuck you." –Josh McGillis
from razorcake.com! hooray!
BOMBS AND BEATING HEARTS:
From Dumpsters Rise!: CD
Is this a parody CD? Sadly, I fear it is all too real. If punks keep writing lame songs about eating out of dumpsters, I’m going to have to start a band and write songs about eating food from a grocery store! What ever happened to writing songs about hanging out at Burger King (see: Ramones, Queers, et.al)? This is crappy Crimethinc-influenced folk punk. I wonder if This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb (a great band) ever sit back and think, “What evil force have we unreleased in the world?” If this were a cereal, it’d be Total Punk Anarchy Hobo Ohs. Yikes. –Maddy (Self-released)

Bombs and Beating Hearts is an acoustic guerrilla folk punk band from SLC that was started sometime in the fall of 2004. We play acoustic because it costs less, we can set up anywhere, it's less to worry about, it sounds awesome, and it's very important to us for people to be able to understand our lyrics. We are striving to help make punk a fucking threat by provoking thought, tearing down walls, and pushing the fun and inspiration that music can bring into unexpected places.

I think you will think this is prety great. http://www. goneraw. com/ It is like a massive raw food recipe box. I have made a few things on here and they turn out amazing.
So me and my brother got lost while going from Rug Burn to Boing... So we just went home. We were following behind that van with the Oregon plates, because we thought they were one of the bands, and would know where to go.... But then they just went to a 7/11. Oh well. I'll catch all of you guys some other time.
hey folks, just wanted to let ya know we've finished our new album and posted a few tracks off it on our page. in particular, i figured ya might like 'none of the above', our official "fuck the elections" song.
