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.
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!)

Agreed. I love all music. Bomb blends so many types of music together it's not funny. Seriously shut the fuck up. You're acting like children. Just appreciate the god-likeness that Jeff brings into his songs.

"resorting to calling people twelve? what are you, younger than twelve?" That was wit if I've ever seen it, nojokes. I didn't realise everyone hated ska nowadays, I must live under a rock. But aye, it doesn't really matter whether they are or aren't ska. If you like them, like them; if you don't like them, don't like them. Wtf is the big deal lmao?

I'm not being an elitist, but Jeff has said it himself, BTMI! is mainly a ska band.

Who gives a fuck about genres if the music is good? Seriously, what kind of fucking elitists refuse to admit that there's good music in EVERY genre?

omgitsprezel wrote:
"Ska is quite gay, its a very happy genre." Clearly you've listened to very few ska songs if you think its so happy.

CatchParadox wrote:
Let's all BAWWW about genres. At shows, Jeff talks about writing ska songs for BTMI, but they're a ska-punk band about the same way as Leftover Crack. That is, sometimes, but not always. If listening to a band that plays ska songs cuts into your punk cred, you can fuck right off. Jeff fronted for ASOB - gasp! - a ska-punk band, so that's gonna carry over into his new band. Deal, or find a new underground band, because this scene's not for elitists.
