The Neutron Bombs are a newly formed punk band from Chicago who sound like they stepped out of 1977 London. Fortunately unlike cartoony jokes like The Casualities or Blanks 77 who are often the ones associated (or associate themselves) with these comparisons, Neutron Bombs spare us all the phony dress up and actually play good music. Fronted by cockney voiced singer Ken Ortman (who was best known to me as the guy who briefly played second guitar for The Methadones when Dan Vapid wanted to focus on just singing), the band is rounded out by current Methadones bassist Pete Mittler, and a drummer named Colin, whose last name is currently unbeknownst to me. Currently the band has some of their rehearsals recorded, which despite being pretty raw, all sound surprisingly good. The band plans to start recording in a studio soon, hopefully a label like Red Scare Industries or Dan Vapid's new label, Transparent Records, will help a Neuron Bombs album see the light of day in the near future. For now you can check out their stuff at www.myspace.com/theneutronbombs.
