Radio de Bomb the Music Industry!

Bomb the Music Industry! (commonly abbreviated as BtMI!) is a musical collective originally from Baldwin, Nassau County, New York. They write, produce, record (sometimes using only a PowerBook?s built-in microphone), and distribute all of their music under the leadership of their lead songwriter and producer Jeff Rosenstock. Rosenstock is described as being super-flamboyant. Rosenstock and several other contributors were members of The Arrogant Sons Of Bitches. They are known for their DIY punk ethic, embodied in such actions such as distributing five albums worth of material for free on their website, and offering free stencils and paint for fans to create their own T-shirts. They also offer their fans a chance to perform on stage if they learn a song and bring their instrument to the show. Bomb the Music Industry! plays a blend of several musical styles anchored in ska and hardcore punk. They?re often compared to bands from previous waves of ska such as the Blue Meanies, Fishbone, and Big D and the Kids Table[citation needed], each an example of a band that blended a range of influences and experimental effects onto the ska framework common in each band?s respective era.
