Louis Lingg and the Bombs

Louis Lingg and the Bombs are goddamn punk-rock-garage-pop-anarcho saviours of the 2 and half minute pop song. They come from Paris where they regularly blow up little bars with explosions of snot and beer fuelled punk rock energy!

The line up:
Josh (ex-Tchiki Boum, ex-In Vitro, ex-DBC, also known as Dummycrusher in the Electro and Breakcore scenes, Producer of Underground Railroad, Foxglove, First Part, Flashing on Bright and NMA ) on Vocals and Guitar.
Laurent (from Udigrudi) on Bass and Vocals.
Ben (singer songwriter and visual artist) on Guitar and Vocals.
Nico on Drums and Vocals.

Their influences:
Punk bands like The Epoxies, Antiflag, Rancid, NOFX and Greenday.
They have a strong love of ’77 style punk like The Buzzcocks, The Clash and The Undertones.
Never forgetting that they are children of the 90s having grown up with bands such as Nirvana, Bikini Kill, Sleater Kinney and The Butthole Surfers.
In their song-writing however, their admiration of classic children’s songs is clearly visible, as is their 60s influences; Shirley Ellis, Aretha Franklin and Nancy Sinatra.
The group is named after Louis Lingg, the famous Chicago anarchist who committed suicide on death row in 1887. Some of their songs are ultra-political anarchist punk rock and some of their songs are like children’s nursery rhymes. ALL of their song’s are full of interesting pop hooks and melodies and they are sung with energy and commitment.
