Fashion Bomb
Encyclopedia
Fashion Bomb are an American band formed in Chicago, Illinois in 2003. Fashion Bomb's music spans the metal subgenres, with songs that have elements of heavy metal
, industrial
, alternative
, and nu metal
. The band is most consistently, however, categorized as industrial metal
.
The band released their debut album, Devils to Some, Angels to Others in August 2006. The group is known for their live performances, their "undead" appearance, and their platform boots.
.
In early 2004, Chicago Radio station 94.7 the Zone, sponsored a huge band competition called Next Big Thing. Fashion Bomb won this competition, and the resulting attention garnered them a development deal with Hollywood Records
.
The Hollywood Records deal enabled the band to go into the studio with producer Tadpole (Disturbed, Soil, Earshot
, Drowning Pool
) and further develop their sound. Val has commented that for a metal band that is often not family friendly, it was amusing that the monetary support from Hollywood was delivered by a check with Mickey Mouse
at the top. (Hollywood Records is owned by Disney Corp.)
After a subsequent string of successful shows, OS was fired from the band for philosophical and musical differences, which opened the way for acid to come on board as lead guitarist. This fortuitous development came just in time, as two weeks after acid joined the group, JAM Productions hired Fashion Bomb to open for Marilyn Manson
during his Against All Gods tour.
After the success with Manson, the band continued their success, and eventually parted ways with Sen over musical differences. Soon after, Bambi and Mode were hired to for bass and rhythm guitar duties. During this time, the group played with such notable acts as PIG, Hanzel und Gretyl
, Soil, Dope
, American Head Charge
and Godhead
.
In August 2006, the band recorded their first full length album for indie label Superdead Records. Jamie Duffy of Acumen Nation
and DJ Acucrack? co-produced eith DreG. In addition, Trevor Sadler of Mastermind Studios (NIN
, Soil
) mastered the tracks, and Stephen Jensen of F3 Studios was brought on board to create the challenging album art.
In 2007, shortly after appearing in Metal Hammer
magazine, Bambi and Mode (a couple at the time), departed the band to focus on school and finances. 2007 was not done for line up changes, as DreG departed the band to pursue other production and musical interests. Trace was hired to play bass for the band, and Switch was brought on as a "hired gun" for rhythm guitar.
In keeping with this new approach, Fashion Bomb also debuted their "Drones". Differentiated by number, a Drone is a live performer on stage, usually playing an instrument, but other Drones have been hinted at, including performance artists or stage technicians. Fashion Bomb's Drones have proven an effective support system, and currently two Drones have been debuted, Drone1 which plays drums, and Drone2 which plays rhythm guitar.
Fashion Bomb continued their success in July 2008, signing a record deal with a new label, Full Effect Records. Based in Detroit and Los Angeles, Full Effect Records features
an exclusive artist roster, and includes Faster Pussycat
, The Newlydeads
, Pigface
, and Final Cut. Full Effect re-released Fashion Bomb's debut album, Devils to Some, Angels to Others, with a bonus track re-mixed by DJ Asrock of Final Cut in September 2008.
Fashion Bomb's new album "Visions of the Lifted Veil" was released November 10, 2009. This will be their second full length album, and is produced by Raymond Herrera
of Fear Factory
and Arkaea
. Also producing and mixing is Jeremy Blair (Guns N' Roses
, Mnemic
, Fear Factory
). Stephen Jensen of F3 Studios created the album artwork.
