JIVEBOMB

Sobre

Rising out of Baltimore’s groundbreaking hardcore scene in 2021, JIVEBOMB’S ruthless blend of hardcore punk and intense live show quickly made them a band to watch. Dropping a demo that year, the band grabbed the attention of Flatspot Records and released their first proper EP, Primitive Desires, in 2022. The EP received praise from Stereogum, The Fader, and BrooklynVegan, and the band went on a whirlwind of touring alongside acts including Angel Du$t, Soul Glo, Fleshwater, Spy, and Candy. JIVEBOMB’S brazen and gut-wrenching style continues to grow, and takes on a more extreme form on the band’s upcoming debut album, ETHEREAL, out March 28th, 2025 on Flatspot Records. ETHEREAL is defined as “extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.” A pure contradiction to JIVEBOMB’S sound, yet a perfect match to the band’s lyrics that drive from a dissociative dreamlike state. Entering the studio in summer 2024 with Ben Greenberg (Uniform) at Circular Ruin in Brooklyn, NY, JIVEBOMB knew they wanted to keep their raw, blitzed out energy while diving into heavier territory. Spanning ten tracks, ETHEREAL clocks in at thirteen minutes of destructive chaos pulling from hardcore, grindcore, and the extremities of music. With the release of ETHEREAL, JIVEBOMB have delivered a unique and rapid debut that urges repeat listens while building anticipation for what the band will create next.
