"Recalling a lot of the more interesting avant-garde punk of the 80’s Period Bomb’s “Jack Shit” is so antithetical to the pop song structure that it feels like it’s coming from another planet."

"Period Bomb just came off their first US tour and nearly burned the house down literally as they lit a stink bomb in the middle of the room. They played a ruckus set, all brooding and bloody tampon- filled punk mayhem with nods to GG Allin."

-Amy Darling on LA Record

​

Like their visceral moniker promises, the Los Angeles/Miami punk band is a direct and colorful affront to convention. All that normative shit that you inherited by insidious social osmosis – even the boys-club punk orthodoxy – they target it right between the eyes and on all levels. In sound, optics and concept, they are pure and exciting provocation. And they do it with maximum flair.

"The song features vocalist Cami Miami’s supple, Siouxsie Sioux voice moving over tightly wound power chords."

"Got hot and heavy with hilarious LA punk pukers PERIOD BOMB spraying their catchy far out attitude all across the basement!"

"LA's Period Bomb hearkens back to the Slits, Lunachicks and Super-Heroines: bands that cut a loud, proud and visually flamboyant swath through the punk scenes of their respective times. Period Bomb beats the boys at their own volume-dealing game and adds just the right hint of "I'll cut you if you look at me sideways" intensity. On the evidence of the EPs released so far, the band is pitched perfectly between riot grrrl and postpunk weirdness. Live, the whole experience veers toward DIY punk psychedelia, with dirt, glitter, sweat, rhinestones, blood, spandex, vinyl and confrontation making for the perfect spectacle ... and soundtrack.

-Orlando Weekly

 

" ‘Gnarly Princess’ is even better, with a kind of lo-fi powerpop princess vibe. We’re being glitter-bombed with these riffs. There’s just glitter everywhere, and bright colors, it’s like Lisa Frank exploded at Yeah I Know It Sucks right now. I love the slower section, and the way the vocalist sings and the reverb is excellent. Then there’s this heavy section with phasers, my mind is melting completely."

"Period Bomb's latest offerings are a powerful display of feminist humor underscored by an urgency about the imminent state of catastrophe endangering our nation, our youth, our morals and democracy itself. Watch it and be forewarned! The after-image that will brand your retinas forever is that of divine hope, interspersed with appaling fear. "Yes We Can Save You!!" But "We're Too Busy!!".

-Geza X

"I dont want any fund starting money for my dumb projects. I dont want yer money to cure my hemroids I just want you to come out tonight and see the best new punk band i've heard of in a while, Period Bomb, tonight at the Red Gate 855 east Hastings street. Its only $5 and if ya wanna leave before Piggy (official BAND PAGE) plays (last) that's fine. Just come support a bad ass touring band from LA".

-Ron Reyes (Black Flag, Redd Kross)

 

"Girls gone wild with Cami Alvarez aka Mysterr aka Period Bomb thrashing about in an unhinged, slightly scary but still cute explosion of creative discharge, pun intended. From what we know, Cami lives to Bomb. She sleeps in a van with her pet rat, and just wrapped a very long tour with Snow Wite, leaving a trail of red stains all over the country. Below, see the Period Bomb video for “Oily Girls” and then go see the band live at Lot 1 tonight."

 

-LA Record

 

I really like Camila Alvarez's band Period BOMB! They're LA based and they remind me of Frank Zappa's GTOs, The Runaways (minus the creepy mastermind), or a feminist Redd Kross. It's 21st-century riot grrrl by way of shoplifting at American Apparel and lucid dreaming after watching too many John Waters films. Halfway through this pop ditty [Gnarly Princess] everything turns dark in a "female Jim Morrison/DIY prog-rock from hell" kind of way. Highly recommended!
