Four guys holding English degrees from Ohio State University, the New Bomb Turks have been declared as leaders in the punk rock revolution by spiked-haired, hardcore punkers everywhere. They are not pop-punk, but ferociously aggressive and fast, borrowing from the Pagans, Dead Boys, and so on. The band's name comes from Robert Wuhl's character in an early-'80s B movie, The Hollywood Nights, which also marked the film debuts of Tony Danza and Michelle Pfeiffer. Their landmark debut, "Destroy Oh Boy!", came out in 1993 to universally great reviews. Following it up quickly with the Drunk on "Cock EP" (which has a hilariously offensive cover), the band scored another winner the next year with "Information Highway Revisited". Featuring a tighter sound and less of a direct punk influence, the record again made them critical darlings. "The Pissing Out the Poison: Singles and Other Swill" was their last release for Crypt Records, as mini-major Epitaph asked them to join the roster. "Scared Straight" and "At Rope's End" both appeared quickly afterwards, although both records started to show the wear and tear the band was experiencing on the road and in the studio. A few EP's marked the time between albums, but their last Epitaph release "Nightmare Scenario" would hit stores by 1999. The band and label split amicably, and the Turks toured for a bit before stepping back into the studio. Recording "The Night Before the Day the Earth Stood Still" without a label, Gearhead pick up the record and released it in the fall of 2002. The 8th full length release from the quartet "Switchblade Tongues and Butterknife Brains", is a more of an unreleased "best of" than an "odds and ends" collection: several amazing unreleased EP's, a few b-sides, unreleased cuts from last years Gearhead release "The Night Before The Day The Earth Stood Still" round out this must have collection.

As of 2005, the New Bomb Turks have slowed down their touring and recording in order to pursue other interests. Guitarist J. Weber, is now a 10th and 11th grade English teacher at Hilliard Davidson High School.
In 2010, E. Davidson wrote "We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001" (buy it here!), a paperback chronicling the underground punk movement between 1988 and 2001. Source

NEW BOMB TURKS "Pissing Out The Poison"
PISSING OUT THE POISON contains remixes, 7"'s, compilation tracks, and other previously unreleased tracks from The New Bomb Turks catalog.
Serving up 26 songs culled from various hard to come by 7" and compilation releases, Pissing Out the Poison serves as a fine introduction to the cowpunk world of Columbus, OH's New Bomb Turks. Simply put, the New Bomb Turks play rock & roll that proudly displays influences ranging from the Pagans to '80s guitar metal and rockabilly hiccupers like Jerry Lee Lewis and, last but certainly not least, the Rolling Stones (this record even includes a cover of the Stones' "Summer Romance"). Since many of these songs were never released as part of a proper New Bomb Turks record, it should come as little surprise that for the most part the production tends to be a little ragged with Jim Weber's fuzzed-out guitar and Eric Davidson's manic vocals drowning out the bass and drums on several tracks. However, while lo-fi production might sound bad on, say a pristine pop record by Bon Jovi, punk rock is a different animal, and under the right circumstances, as here, rough production only adds to the atmosphere, helping to convey the D.I.Y. attitude. Compiled from early New Bomb Turks releases, the overall tone of Pissing Out the Poison is considerably more fierce than later releases like Nightmare Scenario which, released on Epitaph, found the band playing songs that were more polished, and while still quite catchy and rocking, lacked the raw edge of earlier efforts. Charismatic frontman Eric Davidson (whose lyrics and image would have you believe he was a '50s hoodlum with a pompadour and leather jacket, or maybe just Steve Martin) has a knack for sharp, pun-heavy wit, as evidenced with song titles like "Laissez Faire Stare" and "Deathbedside Manner." Pissing Out the Poison also includes New Bomb Turks standards like "Let's Dress Up the Naked Truth," "Sucker Punch," and "Taller Order," as well as several obscure covers of songs by Thee Headcoats, Radio Birdman, Phil Spector, and Modern Lovers, among others
Great comp, well worth owning by those of us who feel the NBT lost their mojo after a couple of discs.
I love this band!!!! Great rockersssssssss
Merci beaucoup! Thanks a lot for sharing this! Great stuff from one of my favorite bands... :-D
Thank you very much for this Turks record. Fantastic.
Does anyone have an mp3 of the double-vinyl version of this? If I remember correctly, it had a couple tracks different from the cd.
I still haven't read "We Never Learn," but I'm looking forward to it. These guys always killed it live!
