Your new favorite hardcore band lives in a squat

Born in a Rotterdam squat in 2025, already tearing through Roadburn. Bombstrap's debut Big Enemy is the underground at its best.

Born inside an anarchist community in Rotterdam in 2025. Second show ever was recorded raw and released. Then they went and tore through Roadburn. That is a resume.

Bombstrap's debut album Big Enemy is out October 2 on Tartarus Records, and Decibel has the full premiere streaming now. Four people split between Manchester and Rotterdam making the kind of hardcore that sounds like it wants to fight the building it's recorded in.

This is the stuff the underground is for. No label machine, no rollout circus, just a feral record from a band that started in a squat and means every second of it. Turn it up loud enough to annoy your neighbors and thank me later.
