Exclusive Interview with Jon Modell from Car Bomb (Relpase Records)

I had the pleasure of speaking with Jon Modell, bassist for Car Bomb, this past Friday. Jon was nice enough to allow me to record the conversation so here is a link to both the podcastand the mp3.














Car Bomb has a few upcoming shows in the area:

April 1, 2007 @ Crazy Donkey, Long Island with Body Count(Ice-T)
April 21, 2007 @ Club Europa, Brooklyn with Years of Fire(x-Chimaira)

Sydbarret @ Lit Lounge, NYC Feb. 19, 2007

I hadn't heard of these guys before I caught their set opening for Car Bomb last Monday at Lit Lounge. Their MySpace page isn't too descriptive but it appears that the band used to be called Arson. I really enjoyed their live set and the three-song demo that I got at the show. The demo tracks are streaming on the band's MySpace page.

Car Bomb @ Lit Lounge, NYC Feb. 19, 2007

Car Bomb headlined at Lit Lounge last night and played an impressive thirty minute set. Car Bomb is touring behind their debut CD Centralia on Relapse Records which was released earlier this month. The band started the set with a smoking version of M^6 (check out the video for this song on YouTube) and left the crowd wanting more at the end of their set. This is one band that I will make a point of catching next time they are in town.

Car Bomb - Centralia CD Review

Car Bomb's first full-length CD, Centralia, is set for release on Feb. 6th. I have had this CD for about a week now and have been playing the hell out of it. This CD clocks in just under 40 minutes and the band really showcase their abilities across the disc's 11 tracks. Stellar production highlight all of the band members contributions but it is Elliot Hoffman's jazz-influenced drumming and Greg Kubacki's intricate guitar work that really caught my ear.

This is a great metal CD that compares well with a lot of the Relapse releases. The band has a lot of diversity that goes beyond traditional metal/hardcore as the band is able to channel a variety of influences in their songwriting (ranging from straight-forward hardcore to math-metal to jazz). Tempos and song structures change up throughout the disc and the whole thing works. There isn't a bad cut on this disc.

For anyone unfamiliar with the band, the first video from this CD M^6 showcases the band's strengths and is a good indication what the rest of this CD sounds like.

Car Bomb is playing the Precious Metal show at the Lit Lounge in NYC on Feb. 19th.
