1986 – 2003 (17 years)
Their are multiple groups with the name Baby Boom:
(1) Believe it or not there's more than one band that christened themselves Baby Boom, but this one happened to roll out of Red Bank, NJ in the mid-80s. Not pandering enough to appeal to the hard rock set, nor did they emanate enough ingenuity to make them a fixture at college radio, B/B nevertheless locked in on a formula that should've accorded them something more significant than mere local notoriety. The distinctly rocking "Working Women" loosely borders on power pop, but the quartet's janglier tendencies amidst "Out of Nowhere" and "Reason to Hide," definitely skewed closer to that vein. My copy of Driven Too Far was bundled with a bonus 1986 7", titled The Baby Boom Garage Sessions. "Raining Glass" is four swell minutes of ringing, melodic guitar pop, that for a few seconds there recalls R.E.M.'s "Gardening at Night." Heartfelt as the flip, "The Problem With Vicky and Laura," is, I found it a little too ballad-y for my discriminating ears.
(2) a Punk Rock band from Istanbul, Turkey. Formed in 2010.
(3) A No Wave band that released only one EP in 1984.
