Bio
Throwing out pop molotovs and waving the black flag of anarchist punk energy since 2006. Parisian revolutionairies rocking for freedom from the capitalists pigs! Playing loads of illegal concerts in squats around France they have built a reputation for fun filled anarchic pop punk unequalled in the so-called civilised world.
About
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 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.
The line up:
Josh (ex-Tchiki Boum, ex-In Vitro, Producer of Underground Railroad, Foxglove, First Part, Flashing on Bright, King of Conspiracy and NMA ) on Vocals and Guitar.
Axel Danger Tulip (from No Flag Project) on Bass and Vocals.
Ben Flob (visual artist) on Guitar and Vocals.
Gilbertmuda (ex- The Troglodites) on Drums and Vocals.
Clem Phlegm (from Foxglove) on keyboards
Julie Hate on vocals
Their influences:
Punk bands like The Briefs, The Epoxies, Antiflag, Pansy Division and The Dickies.
They have a strong love of '77 style punk like The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Adverts 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.
After a series of demos, they finished their first 7 track CD EP in December 2006.
In September 2007, they released the single Princess Mononoke in the UK on ORG Records to acclaim and radio play on XFM and Resonance FM.
Their song, Chomsky changed my life, is on the new PPP Zine / Generation Extreme compilation (France).
Their song, Conspiracy, is on volume nine of the Netbloc compilations released by Blocsonic. Blocsonic is run by members of Slamjamz, Public Enemy's record label.
They release their 7 inch single "Hates your laws" on Damaged Goods Records in November 2009.
En Francais:
Louis Lingg and the Bombs, punk, pop, anarchiste. Depuis 2006.
Leurs influences sont d'abord punk de la génération 77 avec The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Undertones ; jusqu'aux groupes punk modernes tel que The Epoxies, Antiflag, Rancid, Greenday . Ils gardent aussi en mémoire les chansons de leur enfance écrites par Shirley Ellis et celles de leur adolescence : Nirvana, Bikini Kill, The Pixies et The Butthole Surfers. En France : Guerilla Poubelle, The Hatepinks et Charge 69.
Le groupe rend hommage à Louis Lingg, le fameux anarchiste de Chicago qui met fin à ses jours dans le couloir de la mort en 1886. Il inspire au groupes ses chansons les plus politiques (Zapatista), qui côtoientdes morceaux plus ludiques et enfantins(Am Stram Gram); mais le dénominateur commun a tous les morceaux de ce groupe reste l'énergie pop et l'enthousiasme militant.
