Emerging: How I Became The Bomb

If you'll recall the short span of time during which genre melds were happening, where nouveau post-punk was transforming into full-out dancepunk, but BEFORE dancepunk throttled itself to a death and rebirth as electro, angular, jumpy, herky-jerky enthused lads and lasses were making some seriously exciting music. Now, because this wasn't so long ago, we're not chasing dinosaurs here. And when we make references (spot-on 100%, no less) to this band from Rome, Georgia called How I Became The Bomb thoroughly stealing the stencil from groups like Hot Hot Heat or an apolitical Radio 4, everyone is instantly in agreement about what we mean when we're doing it. Everything is an anthem, every second is breathless and fist-pumping and full-steam ahead. How I Became the Bomb are gearing up to release a brand new full-length LP this fall, but before that, they're celebrating the release of 4 digital EPs available on their website and heading out on tour.
