B.O.M.B. - Endless Road (feat Reidar Larsen) - NEW SINGLE!
(scroll down for info in Norwegian)

B.O.M.B. (Back On My Bullshit), formerly known as “Slim-B & Horvei The Greatness and Rabalassorkesteret”, has in a very short time become a household name in their hometown of Stavanger. Starting in spring 2010, the band have quickly build an impressive fanbase, received critical acclaim, won the national Zoom Live competition, done loads of gigs, and was recently booked to Stavanger’s biggest festival, “RxR”.
The seven-man band have always been serious about their live performance, which has resulted in the band earning a great reputation as a liveband and selling out all their gigs. In the summer of 2012 the band decided to change its name to the BOMB, an abbreviation of the title of their hit single “Back On My Bullshit.” It was this song that first brought the band attention outside the hip hop community, when it was used in a short film / music video for the extreme sports group Midgetbase. The video also won the “Audience Award” at the Stavanger Short Film Festival. B.O.M.B. also has symbolic value in rap jargon where “bomb” is often used to denote new releases, as in “dropping bombs.”

Magnus Hartland Gramstad and Rune Horvei aka Slim-B and Horvei The Greatness is the fundamental to the sound of the band. Rune is in charge of beats and production, while Magnus delivers the lyrics and hip-hop vocals. Magnus and Rune comes from completely musical backgrounds, as does the other member of the band. The individual members diverse musical history is an essential contributor to the truly unique sound of B.O.M.B.


Årets ZOOM vinner “Slim-B and Horvei the Greatness & Rabalasset” skifter nå navn til B.O.M.B. (Back on my Bullshit) og feirer navneskiftet med singelen “Endless Road”. Lytter man godt etter finner man også bassrøsten til blueslegenden Reidar Larsen på refrengene
B.O.M.B. ble under sitt forrige navn på kort tid blitt ett velkjent band i Stavanger. Siden bandet ble startet i 2010 har de rukket å bygge ett solid live renome, høstet mange lovord, vunnet den nasjonale Zoom-konkurransen og hatt en rekke spillejobber, i tillegg til å bli booket til Stavangers største festival, «Rått og Råde».

Det sju manns store bandet legger stor vekt på å levere imponerende og engasjerende live-opptredener, noe som har resultert i at bandet har fått ett sterkt rykte som liveband og stadig tiltrekker seg flere fans. Sommeren 2012 valgte bandet å skifte navn til B.O.M.B, en forkortelse som stammer fra tittelen til en av bandets låter: «Back on my bullshit». Det var denne låta som for alvor fikk snøballen til å rulle da den ble brukt i en kortfilm / musikkvideo/ promovideo for ekstremsportgruppen Midgetbase. Filmen vant også publikumsprisen under Stavanger Kortfilmfestival. Navnet har forøvrig også en symbolverdi i rap-sjargong hvor “bomb” ofte blir brukt til å betegne nye utgivelser, som i “Dropping bombs”.
