Dutch punk rock band Ink Bomb will release its second full-length album, called ‘Saudade,’ on April 3rd. To get in the mood, the band has released their fast skate punk banger and a sing-along single ‘Pressure Cooker.’ It’s the opening track of Ink Bomb’s new album and its subject matter is the ongoing destruction of Earth. ‘Saudade’ contains a more melancholic and raw sound and feeling. This melancholy is also evident in Lynn Gommans’ design, influenced by the rough but beautiful Atlantic coast of Portugal.
With the new album, Ink Bomb broadens its horizon, with indie, hardcore, grunge, and even some new wave influences. But there are still plenty of mosh bangers for the average punk fan. If you listen to today’s ‘Pressure Cooker’ and more classic punk single ‘Tough Cookie’, it’s evident that the band is still full of energy. Perhaps more than ever.
On April 19th, the band will celebrate ‘Saudade’s’ release in legendary Nijmegen squat house De Onderbroek. Ink Bomb has invited two befriended bands: Two Star Review and Mark of Chaos. De Onderbroek is also where the band presented their first EP ‘Invincible Summer’ eight long years ago. With the new album, Ink Bomb proves that that summer is not over yet, no matter how many curve balls life may throw at you.
