Girl Band “De Bom Bom”

28 Jul 2014 — Henning Lahmann

Ah right, another group of individuals that by way of appellation suggest a quality they are not. Is that subversive? Clever? Shallow? Wrong? For the time being, we'll leave the question undecided, hanging there in the openness of this post. Because we assume that whatever the motives, young Dublin outfit Girl Band don't mean any harm. For what it's worth, they could call themselves anything really, as the band's forceful sonic revolt which finds its position somewhere between traditional post-punk and more contemporary U.S.-informed noise probably needs no names anyway. This is fresh anger, probably aimless, which renders all upright theorizing essentially futile. I mean seriously, this song is called "De Bom Bom". Further proof necessary? Listen below.

Girl Band are playing at Berlin Mitte's ACUD on September 6, presented by No Fear Of Pop. Check out the event details over here.
