(2002 – present)

Beginnings: 2002-2005

Gama Bomb formed in 2002 and soon built up a loyal following in their native Ireland and the UK, which they consolidated with a rigorous touring schedule and frequent forays into self-released recording. The band first gained attention with their demo The Survival Option in the same year. Relentlessly touring was paired with 2003’s The Fatal Mission single. At this time frontman Philly Byrne often appeared on stage dressed as a chef, a priest, a pirate and an unhinged scientist in an ever more outrageous live stage show, which frequently included a Thrash Metal version of 80’s TV show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ theme tune.

Survival of the Fastest: 2005-2007

Gama Bomb released their full-length debut Survival of the Fastest (Produced by Alwyn Walker) through European music label Witches Brew in early 2006. The album, which had originally been independently released in a limited edition format in late 2005, included many of the bands then live staples of which many, aside from those present on previous EP releases, had never been commercially available. The 2006 version of the album features the bonus tracks “M.A.D.” and “The Survival Option” from their 2004 Fatal Mission single.

Great gesture of releasing an album as a free download. I definitely need to buy a shirt by them to support that. More bands should do this to help record-corporations stop their global-scam saying internet-distribution is bad...
