New Bomb Turks

Nightmare Scenario (2000)

Scott Heisel

The New Bomb Turks are probably the most rock'n'roll punk band I've ever heard. The only true way to describe this release is that it is punk rock, at it's grittiest and best. The New Bomb Turks show that you don't have to have big production or anything to make a good release. The sound on here sounds like a demo tape from a garage band straight from track one, and it just adds to the imagery of these guys rocking out live in my mind. They have a lot of power, and they play it like they mean it [which might sound stupid, but consider how many bands nowadays really don't care all that much about their lyricial or musical content]. I had never really experienced the New Bomb Turks before now, but after this, I definitely want more. So in closing, if you want the rock, you want the New Bomb Turks.
