With the release of their sophomore album THE POET AND THE PARROT, Bombus have forged ahead with their own unique blend of metal and rock, adding texture from numerous other influences. Since starting in 2008, they have released three 7" vinyl singles and one self-titled, self-released album, all with the intention of taking elements of the music they enjoyed while growing up (Motörhead, Metallica, Melvins, Poison Idea, WASP) and mixing it up and booting it into the present. Their debut album received excellent reviews, getting noticed as much for its success in achieving that goal as for its originality. It is an album of contrasts, with trippy psychedelic instrumentals sitting alongside gritty rock in an arrangement that keeps you guessing what's coming next!
