tsunmai bomb

drummer 666 · 20-02-2005 9:49pm #1

anyone heard of them? (if there not punk sorry)

Ro: maaan! · 20-02-2005 9:57pm

Yea. Well... one song. Take The Reins. It's good. Saw them support eh... The Vandals I think a few years ago in the Ambassador. They were good.

dregin · 20-02-2005 10:06pm

They aren't too bad. The singers voice gets a bit annoying. I had a few live videos of them and she went insanely out of tune quite a bit. That might have been the venues fault tho....

steveland? · 20-02-2005 10:20pm

Saw them with the Vandals too, they were alright, better than the other support band that was with them anyway.

No Very Good Bad Day is the only song I remember by them. It's alright

Great night that was though...

Ro: maaan! · 20-02-2005 11:35pm

Better than Audio Karate? I think not! Those guys are class.

Edit: [punk] imo [/punk]

I think they're pretty good but I'm an absolute sucker for any punk with a female vocalist (The Eyeliners, The Distillers to name but a couple) so I may be biased. I saw them at the Vandals and I was pretty impressed, preferred them to Audio Karate anyway (and definitely to the Vandals who *sucked* that night!). I've never been able to find their records in stock anywhere though, eventually imported a couple but cost me a bomb. Anyone seen any of their LPs for sale in Dublin?

you could try soundcellar, they'll order stuff in if someone really wants it.

Graham Day · 21-02-2005 6:44pm

The singer. Agent M from tsunami bomb is fine

bassey · 21-02-2005 7:04pm

what a usefull comment

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 21-02-2005 7:19pm

She is fine though, and I know ya can order stuff in but I'd rather just skip the middle man and import it direct... besides SoundCellar are ropey with ordering things in... they lie like dogs. And Amazon.com is pretty fast/cheap for ordering anything that isn't *completely* obscure.

NotMe · 21-02-2005 7:23pm

He's only being honest

shivface · 21-02-2005 7:59pm

damn the guys not being fine too

i still like them tho, i have the ultimate escape and a few other definitive act songs from the free cds that magazines have

It wasn't me! · 21-02-2005 9:52pm

They're pretty good. You can generally get their stuff in Tower.

yeah she is. lol, if you mean Soundcellar Lie aswell, they don't for my da, cause he helped them out or something like that and drove the manager to work or something, so I get discounts:D

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 21-02-2005 10:16pm

You couldn't [get their stuff in Tower] a couple of years ago, Dermo and I literally went in every day from December 8th 2002 until sometime in January looking for them and asking them (repeatedly) to order them in!

lol, sounds like you guys were egere(SP?) to get some Tsunami Bomb material..I might be getting some out of my bday money after I get the new equipment for my drums, so you'll benefit out of it aswell

It wasn't me! · 21-02-2005 11:19pm

I was in yesterday and I'm pretty sure they had them. They've expanded a lot since they added the Punk section.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 22-02-2005 12:08am

They probably do have them now... but if anyone's in Tower do yourself a favour and buy Punk-O-Rama Vol. 9, 'tis the best compilation of recently released punk you're gonna find. And it has a DVD with it! And it's only 8 euro! Win!

Dermo · 22-02-2005 1:14pm

yeah Tower do have the definitive act in there now, their new album
I prefer some of their older stuff from their split EP's but really want to see them live again

drummer 666 · 22-02-2005 8:29pm

cool, are they cheap? the Cd's?

Dermo · 23-02-2005 1:46pm

nope, never cheap!!!!

Civilian_Target · 23-02-2005 3:22pm

I've got 5 or 6 of their tracks which I aquired from tinternet. They're pretty similar to the Distillers, maybe a little more raw and tuneful. Take a bit of getting used to.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 23-02-2005 4:14pm

More raw than the Distillers? o_0 I am not in agreement!

It wasn't me! · 23-02-2005 5:11pm

I agree with the above disagreement.

shivface · 23-02-2005 10:14pm

yea, agant ms voice is too pretty

oh and for those who would care...MAIDEN are coming to ireland in august31st!!!! CAN@TWAIT!!!!!!!!!1

Civilian_Target · 24-02-2005 3:30pm

Aye - actually - upon a direct comparison - I've just decided that they're about the same level of rawness - but two quite different styles. Prefer the Distillers though, I have to admit.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 25-02-2005 12:24am

To me, rawness is Brody's harsh vocals that can be nigh on impossible to decipher upon first hearing... whereas the context you're using it in seems to relate to the production values. I see where you're coming from but rawness will always mean Brody's borderline shouting rather than singing whereas Agent M is definitely more of a vocalist although both bands work is raw in the sense that you can tell is hasn't been overproduced.

Hello warez monkey lawsuit. Take my pants PLEASE!!!!!Not denying these things, but I wouldnt "get" an album from a band if I don't really like what I've heard. And not everyone's got broadband.

melekalikimaka · 10-03-2005 4:55pm

well lawsuits aside, its a damn easier than ordering from america or even sound celler

dregin · 10-03-2005 5:13pm

Eh right, but you're not allowed to talk about it here.I know there's no charter on this board.......or mod...but yeah, it's a no no.

welll you didnt read it close enough.

Finch* · 27-06-2005 11:31pm

ultimate escape is a good album, take the reigns is a class song, i saw it in HMV in tiwn for $35 and was like wtf, so i went up to the counter and asked, they sold it to me for $14, bargain tbh. that was when it first came out tho so i doubt the y still have it, tower is ur best bet.
