Bomb Child – Nothing Lasts Forever (Release Year – 2006)
I must admit that I have not heard of the band, Bomb Child until only recently. Their debut, Nothing Lasts Forever was recently recommended to me, so I decided to check them out.
Man oh mercy, am I ever glad I did. Nothing Lasts Forever blasts out of your speakers at cannonball speed, and offers listeners a ferocious feast of killer hard rock.
Bomb Child has a style that reminds me of Buckcherry, but mixed with a more modern overtone that might better resemble A7X. Nonetheless, this disc rocks out and rocks hard. It is
chock full of angry tunes about life, love and broken relationships.
Nothing Lasts Forever isn’t a terribly long listening experience. The ten songs on this disc clock in just shy of 34 minutes. There really isn’t a band song in the bunch.
My only disappointment is that I didn’t hear about these guys, when they were out promoting this album. I don’t think Bomb Child is together any longer, and it is a real shame, as they were a very talented three piece.
You can find copies of Bomb Child’s CD, Nothing Lasts Forever on Amazon.com for next to nothing. It is worth the small price of admission. Go get it at this link!
You can also hear a couple of the songs on the band’s myspace page.

Taka is amazing. I’ve followed this amazing guitarist since leaving the band ‘Blessed Event’ back in Boston circa 2000…I’ve surely seen Taka play at the Middle East at least 4 times. Blessed Event disintegrated into ‘Stocklan’ & was nothing more than a self-parody. Rock on Taka!!!
Wow, gotta disagree with that review (based on that video, anyway). It’s one thing when a band like Buckcherry does a little swearing and talks about chicks, because with them, it seems believable.
Understand, I don’t mind the F-word, I say it all the time, but the way it’s used in the song and some of the words, well, it’s just kind of embarrassing for the band. I mean, it seems like some high school kids who are just trying to imitate the big boys. I think I’ll pass on this one.
