The Bombpops
Like I Care

Hailing from San Diego, California, The Bombpops are a female fronted quartet and a force to be reckoned with. Their 6 track debut EP, Like I Care delivers some of the quickest and most melodic punk tracks of the year!

The Bombpops open up Like I Care with “Outta Hand.” Taking cues from 90’s skate-punk, “Outta Hand” delivers swift and melodic guitar notes with abrupt stops and strong vocals from Jen Raz and Poli Van Dam. The title track slows the tempo down with the verse before kicking into a high paced chorus backed with great vocal harmonies. Changing things up with the track, “Buried,” The Bombpops give us a song to two-step to during the verse. Then, eventually leads us into a circle pit with the chorus. “Stuck on Repeat” has the band trying to keep up with each other in the fastest track yet, and they all do a great job. Contrasting “Stuck on Repeat” is the slowest and last song of the EP, “To the Bone.”

The Bombpops are off to a great start to reviving skate-punk with Like I Care, and they should not be ignored. They are bound to release more promising music.
