Streams: Black Tie Bombers: “Eternal Happiness and Good Health”

Posted by chris on Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

Today we bring you a stream of Eternal Happiness and Good Health, the new full-length from Cincinnati's Black Tie Bombers.

A recent review had the following to say:"The band's greatest strength is its ability to combine hardcore, pop-punk, and melodic punk. From the pure hardcore 13 seconds of "Stairway to Heaven" to the pop-punky goodness of "Girl I Want to Mess Up Your Hair," Eternal Happiness and Good Health demands repeat listens."

You can check out the entire album at the Black Tie Bombers Punknews profile page.

Someone (May 10, 2007)

boring and stupid

Sounds like Hinder...

Seriously, this is such a fun album. Anyone that grew up on EpiFat mid-late-90's skate punk will love this. Track #8, "There's Still Time to Board..." is easily one of my favorite songs of 2007.

R3venge_Therapy (May 10, 2007)

hahaha why does it say "sounds like Hinder" in your post? I really hope someone said that.

sickboi (chris) (May 10, 2007)

I asked Ryan, their singer, if he considered the band skatepunk. His response, which has become a running joke, is now always "Sounds like Hinder".

He actually wanted that in the description for the stream.

R3venge_Therapy (May 10, 2007)

Oh okay, makes sense. Ryan loves Hinder, so I'm sure that's why he did it. He just wants all their sweet fans to listen to BTB and show up at the shows. Because I know I want to go see BTB play to a bunch of rednecks.

But really, Big Squirrel is more the band that Hinder fans need to check out. Big Squirrel is Ryan's real band. He takes it way more serious than BTB.

Big Squirrel is an entity. Listen if you like "Get Stoned"

yeah, this is enjoyable

there's always gonna be room in my listening schedule for stuff like this, even if it doesn't comprise the majority of it anymore

sickboi (chris) (May 10, 2007)

Oh yeah, and referencing the cartoon Doug in a song title gets two thumbs up in my book too.

Quailman!

Nice.

When Disney bought it from Nickelodeon the whole show went to shit.

Someone (May 10, 2007)

I totally agree! Nicktoons were my childhood and Boy Meets World.

sickboi (chris) (May 10, 2007)

I watched them in college, how sad is that?

I grew up on Transformers and GI Joe.

Someone (May 10, 2007)

I somehow managed both.

Don't worry man, they'll all be sorry when they have to take care of us in the nursing home in a few years.

Someone (May 10, 2007)

yuck, recording quality... anyways, isn't this the band that tells their friends to boycott shows of certain promoters who don't book them? shady.

sickboi (chris) (May 10, 2007)

Wasn't enough for you to leave it at "boring and stupid"?

Do you have something personal against the band?

R3venge_Therapy (May 10, 2007)

Apparently this person does. This person also does not know the context of the supposed "boycott" which never happened, and also has never met the guys in this band, who are all fucking awesome guys. Shame on him for being a dipshit.

notfeelingcreative (May 10, 2007)

Being a dipshit isn't exactly a new trend on this website.

Punkinohio (May 10, 2007)

This CD sounds good actually. They've gotten way better. Although I also heard the same thing about the boycott, apparently that whole situation IS real?

Someone (May 10, 2007)

american steel on fat wreck

notfeelingcreative (May 10, 2007)

I have high expectations for their next record.

nocigar (May 10, 2007)

yes, i love skatepunk

Someone (May 10, 2007)

Not one of my favorite bands in Cincy. There is better!

BizzleBrizzle (May 10, 2007)

SIKE!

Who?

Someone (May 11, 2007)

like who? maybe the pinstripes but that's it

Someone (May 10, 2007)

why are the first couple cut after 30 seconds or so?

Someone (May 10, 2007)

Prolly cause they're actually only 30 seconds long...
-Greg

Someone (May 10, 2007)

thirty seconds TOO long

RyanRockwell (May 10, 2007)

agreed.

RyanRockwell (May 10, 2007)

We aren't very good, BUT we've never boycotted anyone for anything, that's dumb, so if it is true I wish someone would explain this, maybe punkinohio could.. plz?

Someone (May 11, 2007)

dont post on your own thread....fag. these dudes blow. always have.
-xjoshx

Someone (May 11, 2007)

Hey Jealousy.

Do you think we could drive around this town and let the cops chase us around?

RyanRockwell (May 11, 2007)

stupid straight edge assholes!

Punkinohio (May 11, 2007)

From what I remember it was a little while ago. I heard that you guys weren't booked for a show (maybe lawrence arms at Radio Down?????? not sure), the promoter at the time was kinda new (i think it was kevin m, now works for mad hatter), anyways the story goes that you guys were upset with him , and told all your friends not to go to that particular show and told the promoted so, making him fear noone would show up.

RyanRockwell (May 11, 2007)

ahh I remember that show, except i wasn't even in town, and kevin is a friend of mine and we work together.

Someone (May 13, 2007)

Chinese whispers?!?

Someone (May 18, 2007)

not that anyone will read this anymore, but it was actually a Against Me! show where this got started. first off, we were never on this show, but the promoter dropped a touring band who was supposed to be on the show to put his own band on (and they didnt fit well with the other bands at all). I thought that was kinda dumb, and this kind of stuff has happened to us in the past. so we had a civil discussion about it, resolved the frustration, and got over it.
