Didjits, and the Fluid. Musically, they are akin to The Saints, Dead Boys, The Pagans,The Sonics or
the Troggs. Their lyrics are generally witty and humorous, but have serious themes beneath their

the Troggs. Their lyrics are generally witty and humorous, but have serious themes beneath their
sophomorish hooks.
The New Bomb Turks have released ten full-length LPs, two EPs, and over twenty singles, some of
which contain songs not available elsewhere. Their early recordings appear on the Datapanik,
Sympathy For The Record Industry, Get Hip and Bag of Hammers labels. Crypt Records signed the
band and released !!Destroy Oh-Boy!!, Information Highway Revisited, and Pissing Out The
Poison. Then Epitaph Records signed them and released LPs Scared Straight, At Rope's End and
Nightmare Scenario. Gearhead Records released their next album, The Night Before the Day the
Earth Stood Still. The band also released three b-side and outtakes compilations: Pissing Out the
Poison, The Big Combo, and Switchblade Tongues & Butterknife Brains.
As of 2005, the New Bomb Turks have slowed down their touring and recording in order to pursue
other interests. Guitarist Jim Weber, for example, is now a 10th and 11th grade English teacher at
Hilliard Davidson High School. The band's name refers to the main character (Newbomb Turk) in the
1980 film « hide |
