Mad Bomber Society

Mad Bomber Society

Mad Bomber Society is a six-piece ska band that was started in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1992. Garnet Murrie originally conceived of the idea for the band, but later it was Rich Bomber who took the idea and ran with it in 1997. After years of playing solely in Edmonton, they began touring Western Canada. Their first studio album (Atomic-A-Go-Go) was released in 2001. Their music is heavily influenced by the Two tone movement, and is also touched by traditional Jamaican ska, 1950s rockabilly, 1960s surf rock, and 1970s punk rock. They " [have] an insanely wild, dance crazed live show that is shaking the dance floors of the West." ( [http://www.canoe.ca/IndieBands/band1750.html Canoe.ca] )

Their second album has been recorded and will be available in early 2007.
