The Bomb, the project from Jeff Pezzati of Naked Raygun, Jeff Dean of Four Star Alarm and Pete Mittler and Mike Soucy from The Methadones, have announced plans for a new full length. They had this to say:
So I wanted to let everyone know we’re finally planning on finally recording our next album for No Idea! We just scheduled time with J.Robbins to record us again, this time we’re bringing him in with us to Million Yen Studios in Chicago. I’m feeling it’s going to be a more diverse album this time in the sense that some of the songs are more pissed off anything than from the “Indecision” record.
The band released Indecision in 2005.
