Free Bombed Out Compilation
Posted: 2011-11-11
Tagged: Bombed Out
A People's History of Bombed Out Records.
Here it is then - the compilation I've been tweeting about for about a year! Finally available as a free download either via our shop site or on the Bombed Out bandcamp page. If you just want to listen to the whole thing it's also streaming on our site.
18 songs by the 18 (well 17... news on the other band soon...) bands that we've considered "Bombed Out Bands" since we kicked off the label way back in the summer of 1998 with that first Joe Ninety 7".
This record essentially took 13 years to make, this is what we've built towards since the day we thought it'd be a pretty cool idea to release a 7" record by some of our friends. 13 years of investment of our time, money, blood, sweat and (yep) tears. Some of the bands have since passed on but what they left behind was often glorious and we remain to continue to bask in that glory. So there.
Thanks to Lee Ford and Paul Heys for the artwork, and Scott Stewert (Brocolli/Hard Skin) for the extra mastering and audio tweaks. Please download and enjoy.
In other label news... The new album by The Dauntless Elite is now out, the 2nd Homebrew album is currently being pressed, a new Saturday's Kids 7" is being lined up for release in January and the next New Year/New Start is shaping up nicely and will be on the 28th January. Expect more news soon...

Bombed Out lives!

OK, first, sorry for the lack of an update for what seems like ages (the astute amongst you will note the last news update was October 2007). I've been busy. Silly busy. My website designing alter-ego has been on a mission to rid the world of crap websites and... I got engaged.
The latter of course means that my mind is going to be more on the wedding than on Bombed Out over the coming year which means that Bombed Out's 10th Anniversary shenanigans will have to wait. Fear not though, a couple of things are still in the works. Alas NYNS08 was not one of them. Sorry about that.
Band news to follow...
