This young 3-peice out of Taft, CA only have 2 songs recorded so far. In our current climate of about 5 trillion new slam bands every week, GorillaBomb's new EP stuck out to me. It is obvious that they are not trying to emulate anyone else, they are just having fun and being themselves. Their brutal, disgusting selves. I love it.
CR - Yo! Who are we talking to and what is your role in the band?
Yo wassup you’re talking to Hunter, I’m the guitarist of the band.
Can you list the members and ages and roles in the band?
Our lineup is Hunter Clift (19) on Guitar, Ethan Kendrick (19) On Vocals, And Cody Dale (20) On Drums.
How did GorillaBomb start?
To understand how Gorillabomb started I gotta get into some old school lore here.
I’ve been dating Cody for comin up on 3 Years now, and me and Ethan went to high school together but didn’t really ever talk. We come from a real small town called Taft and we’re some of the only metalheads out here. So me and Cody had just left the thrash band we were playing in called Hysteria, and we were sitting in bed together and I kinda just shot the idea out like “Yk, I like being in a band maybe we should play in another band together.” She said “who would do vocals” and I mentioned I went to school with a kid who was nasty at vocals. So within the hour we had come up with the name and written up our first logo and sent them his way. He said “Fuck it I’m down” and that’s kinda how we started out.
How did you pick the name Gorilla Bomb?
The Name GorillaBomb started out on a random piece of paper we have somewhere. We just scribbled a bunch of names together and hoped one of them would have a ring to it.
We wanted something that would express the fact we’re making heavy ass music and we plan on having fun doing it. Once we wrote down GorillaBomb it was instantaneously our favorite option.
I am in love with your EP that came out a couple of weeks ago!!!! Can you tell us how reception has been since you released "Jungle Slut Desecration" ?
It was a very huge step for us to get this demo out. We recorded with Bill Sayre at FastTrax in Fresno Ca. Who if you don’t know is the guy who recorded Gouging Out Eyes Of Mutilated Infants and the Mangled Atrocity split By Artery Eruption.
We Hope things keep going good and we plan on recording another single in the near months.
Well we are very excited to hear what comes next for you all! Let us know when you are ready to release more tunes and we will catch up again! Any last words?
Thank you everyone who has supported us so far and thank you Cerebral Reviewment For reaching out to us. I’d also like to say thank you to the boys in Impalement as well as Molar/Artery Eruption. These Groups both inspire us heavily and helped us build the fanbase we have, and one big thank you to the team at the 415 in Bakersfield who always give us somewhere special to play.
