Meet The Band:
John Maxwell: Vocals
Jason Jepson: Drums
Tom Linnane: Bass/ Back up vocals
I may or may not have just watched a five minute youtube video of John and Jason cooking dinner, I will admit to laughing my ass off at Jason eating cheese out the bag the whole time-since if you ask my mom that's how I "help" her cook too.
Boom Boom Crash is an electro-pop rock band based out of Boston, Massachusetts; when they aren't busy going to Taco Bell and "looking like hipsters" they are making music they describe as an "electrogasm for your ears." Best. Description. Ever. I giggled to myself the day I tweeted at them that their song "Tap" gave me an electrogasm (if you follow me on Twitter you know I always say the most appropriate things, haha). In fact, I'm listening to that very song as I write this. 4, 3, 2 ,1.....Now I'm ready to go.
The guys of Boom Boom Crash all started playing music at a young age and name bands like These Kids Wear Crowns, Let's Get It, The Summer Set, and Blink 182 as their musical influences, "anything with a good upbeat tempo really." Judging by their music, it's easy to see that these are three easy going, super fun guys with a passion for life and music- and I can honestly say, they had me laughing out loud reading their email responses (in fact, of all the bands I've written about I think I'd most like to hang out with Boom Boom Crash, I'm pretty sure we'd get along great).
"Music that makes you feel something or that you can connect to is always a plus and gets me going, but for the most part it's just Tom's mom," said John when I asked what inspires him. Jay followed up with "for the whole part it's Tom's mom but if I were to have any other inspiration it would be meow mix." Perfection. Tom, possibly feeling a little pressure to conform, also finds inspiration from his mother "but not the same way they mean it." On a more serious note, the guys of Boom Boom Crash love "just being able to play in front of people; and seeing people enjoy our music is just amazing."
When asked who they would most like to share the stage with, the guys mentioned bands like Macy Gray, Insane Clown Posse, and the Backstreet Boys, haha no, "but 'for realz' These Kids Were Crowns all day err day." The guys listed Trophy Scars, The Wonder Years (because Jay likes Lucky Charms and soy milk), and Green Day as some of their favorite bands. They also named Artist vs. Poet, Man Overboard, and We Are The In Crowd as the music currently playing on their iPods. Except John, apparently his iPod got stolen, sorry about that bud. Tom, I can't get enough of We Are The In Crowd lately either and I'm OBSESSED with the song 'I Like it Like That' by Hot Chelle Rae (he said it's his favorite song right now). In fact, it was the very first song on my "Kickass Summer 2012 Playlist," followed closely by your song 'Tap,' I literally can't stop jamming to it.
Jay said that Warped 2011 was the best concert he's ever been to because he got backstage passes and "it was a grand ol' time." Boom Boom Crash has been one of the top featured bands on the Ernie Ball Warped Tour Battle of the Bands page this year, to VOTE for them to play click here, and don't forget that once you've registered you can vote ONCE A DAY.
