Bomb the Music Industry! (commonly abbreviated as BtMI!) is a musical collective originally from Baldwin, Nassau County, New York. They write, produce, record, and distribute all of their music under the leadership of songwriter and producer Jeff Rosenstock, and you can get their albums free at quoteunquoterecords.com
They are known for their DIY punk ethic, embodied in such actions such as distributing six albums worth of their own material for free on their website, and offering free stencils and paint for fans to create their own T-shirts. They also offer their fans a chance to perform on stage if they learn a song and bring their instrument to the show. Beginning in April 2009, the band will only play all-ages shows with ticket prices of $10 or less. Rosenstock and several other contributors were previously members of The Arrogant Sons of Bitches. As that band was breaking up, Rosenstock recorded the first Bomb The Music Industry! song, “Sweet Home Cananada” using his PowerBook’s built-in microphone. “I wrote that song and put it out to see if anybody wanted it. That was how it started, people showed interest and I like recording stuff.” Bomb the Music Industry! plays a blend of several musical styles anchored in ska and hardcore punk. The influences go deeper than ska and punk, however, as studio experimentation, synth-pop, and dc hardcore all pop up in the mix. Rosenstock says bands such as Harvey Danger and Neutral Milk Hotel are as much an influence as evidenced by tracks such as “This Graceless Planet” (an adaptation of a song by We Versus The Shark into the musical aesthetic of Bomb the Music Industry!)

Whoa, the Valkyrians ARE good, thanks for sharing that. At least there are some cool bands that you like in Finland - you should just show them stuff like Bomb! and see what they think. And I know you weren't saying that you wanted to be the next Joe Lally, but having a less-intimidating goal (like just competently playing basic bass lines) is key to actually being motivated to practice and improve, I think.

There's a couple of really good ska bands here. The Valkyrians are especially cool. Lots of 2nd wave British influence there.

The bands that aren't stuck in '77 are trying really hard to sound like Rancid. So it's kids' music either way. I did try to learn an instrument, bass actually. Haven't had much success in becoming the next Joe Lally though...

What's the Finnish punk scene like? Good music can be found at home too, usually. I'm sure (I'm not sure, but I'm guessing) Jeff would say that if there aren't many bands you like in your area, you should make your own band and play music that you want to hear. Of course, that's easier said than done, but yeah.

man, here in brazil, jeff played BEFORE a local band. 40 people in the crowd having a blast, the rest was like "what is this?". It was great.

Maagikki wrote:
Yeah of course a Scandinavian date would be cool. But since only 25 people in Finland even know who the fuck Jeff is, I won't hold my breath. I'm actually quite brown Jawnson ;D Brown eyes, skin and hair. Maybe one day when I have the money and time to travel I'll do a USA road trip, only stopping in places where cool bands are playing at that time.

The band went to Europe in Fall 2010, I believe. Mainland as well as the UK, but not Scandinavia. I hope you get to see them someday!

Because if he went to Europe he would have to change Sunny Place/Shady People to Shady Place/Pale People

Brazil is the future, man. We got beer and almost-naked people dancing on the street

You lucky Australians... Who does a guy have to blow for Jeff to do an European tour? I mean, he even went to fucking Brazil already. BRAZIL! Not that it matters. Not like he'd come to Finland anyway...
