Bomb the Music Industry!

"They're looking at me with their glossy eyes, they're gonna bury me."

- "Everybody That You Love"

Bomb the Music Industry! is a Long Island ska-punk band formed in 2004 by vocalist/guitarist/saxophonist Jeff Rosenstock. They are known for their DIY ethic which includes homemade T-shirts, forming their own record label, and giving away their records for free. They have released five full-length albums on their record label.

Tropes found in their music include:

 * Christmas Songs They planned to release a Christmas song EP, but it got delayed until February and changed to a President's Day EP, leading to lines like "My family will be excited when they look under the Presidents' Day tree."
 * Concept Album Get Warmer is a concept album about moving, being broke, and being unhappy in general. Surprisingly, it's quite happy.
 * A Good Name for a Rock Band Their name becomes this and you discover that "bomb" is a graffiti term, meaning "to take back".
 * I Am the Band Jeff, who writes all the songs and, for the first two or three albums, played all the instruments.
 * Anti-Love Song Many, but "I Don't Love You Anymore" really sticks out. Ironically, it's about quitting drinking.
 * Lyrical Dissonance A lot. One example is "Everybody That You Love", a peppy, energetic song about witnessing a drug deal then running away from the dealer.
 * Three Chords and the Truth Some of their songs from their early albums, but generally averted.
 * What Could Have Been Jeff planned to have a Concept Album based on the contents of a tape that he "found" detailing the story of a American submarine attack by Russians during the Cold War. He decided midway through that it sucked, and it was scrapped, with a few of the songs ending up on Goodbye Cool World.
