Out now from Florida’s Period Bomb ‘Star 69‘ is one of four singles released from the band’s first studio LP Threat, slated for 3 Nov via Crass Lips, 2020 and Megaphone Records.
“‘Star 69’ is a hypnotic psychedelic odyssey with an abrasive darkwave beat. The video shows a cold and confused little puppet boy who can barely walk in this atmosphere and has lost his way home. He calls upon the queen of Star 69 and her shaven rat to take him back home in her spaceship after an earth-cop starts chasing him.”
The full length album Threat will be out on vinyl, and also has an accompaying book entitled Tales from the Cunt revealing Period Bomb’s journey as a band and that their songs are rarely ever fictional.

“We are the only queer, all-latinx, over-feminists, openly-survivors band I know of and even have a song about the rapist cult the 3 founding members and I survived that made us want to start this band.
The book illustrates the results of this little 9-year social experimental of ours of presenting as women but acting like men that has proven quite lethal. The reason we formed is horrifying and it was quite unique of us to react to it by starting a band that would keep putting us in vulnerable positions, but at least it’s made for some great songs that offer a lot of healing and a hell of a book”.
The band’s tour starts today, 28 Oct at ‘Queer the Fest’ in Gainesville, FL, then they tour with German legends PISSE.
