Black Bombers Reveal “The Price” From Upcoming Album “Vive La Revolution”

Birmingham proto-punks Black Bombers have unveiled a new video from their forthcoming new album, Vive La Révolution, that is due out on the 26th January via Easy Action. The Price casts a withering eye over the antics of the UK government, particularly with regard to their handing of the Covid pandemic. Coincidentally, the video dropped on the same day that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson appeared before the official Covid Inquiry. Vive La Révolution is their first album to feature new lead guitarist Steve Crittall (The Godfathers / UK Subs), the album was produced and mixed by Crittall and Mark McGowan at Space Eko East Studios in East London and follows on from their 2019 mini-album, Volume 4. Black Bombers will appear at Birmingham’s The Hare & Hounds on Sunday 10th December with Desperate Measures.

“The running of the country seemed like a game show. Matt Hancock appearing on reality TV months after the song was penned only seemed to confirm that. A huge part of the population seeming blind to the culling of the most vulnerable – and of the VIP lane making obscene amounts of money out of PPE. On a personal level the band lost several loved ones, parents, life-long friends, and had to deal with all the restrictions around hospital visiting and funerals – basically, following all the rules that, in time, we found the lawmakers were breaking themselves. ‘The Price’ expresses all of that anger and frustration.” (guitarist and vocalist Alan Byron)
