BOOM! BAP! POW! is their name and trashy doo-wop-pop is their mission.
Built in August 2008 on a foundation of sax, suits and three-minute old-school pop songs, BOOM! BAP! POW! have established themselves as a sure thing for a good time.
"It's recognisable but its a fresh sound too! Everything works...from the infectious swing of the song right down to the sha-na-nahs. Pull on those dancing shoes, this is the best night out you've had in ages." 4/5 stars Caz Tran - Triple J
“Being the Saturday after the WAMi weekend, it could be understandable punters may be experiencing pop-fatigue. But apparently we can’t get enough, judging by the sheer force of support on Saturday night at the sell-out show for doo-wop-pop sensation Boom! Bap! Pow!
There are some things for which we would like to fuel up the DeLorean and travel back time; like milk bars, roller-waitresses… that fifth beer. Though these things may be lost, Boom! Bap! Pow! are ensuring they are certainly not forgotten.
Soul-drenched track Survivor was a particular favourite and showed off the band’s strengths, not only as musicians, but first-rate entertainers. Quite clearly, all members have an easy rapport, which rubs off on the crowd and suits the motown vibe perfectly.
Vocalist Novac Bull effortlessly cuts through the instrumental with a cool sass.
The group’s greatest challenge is also perhaps their strongest asset, because while it is rare to find scenesters who would say they are specifically into doo-wop, certainly no one seems to have anything at all against it. So while the sound may be niche, it has the ability to captivate across genre, as proven on Saturday night.
Not surprisingly, Boom! Bap! Pow! have won over many lovers of all music styles with their old-style sexy, smooth sax and good, clean fun. The only thing Boom! Bap! Pow! needs now is a bigger venue.” LAURA GLITSOS – Xpress Magazine
The debut album from BOOM! BAP! POW! (recorded by Matt Giovannangelo and mastered by Shaun O' Callaghan) is an opening salvo from a group described by RTR FM’s Andrew Ryan as “The most fun, danceable band in the whole state”
You can buy the BOOM! BAP! POW!'s debut album from 78 Records (Perth), itunes and good music stores all around Australia through Firestarter Distribution.
