Perhaps this band gets the respect they're due in their home country of Canada, but I can think of few bands that are as overlooked as Bum. In my humble opinion one of the greatest bands to ever come along. They are the perfect mix of loud guitar, catchy hooks & great vocals. Their discography is pretty expansive and some records are particularly tough to track down (I spent FIFTEEN YEARS looking for the A Promise Is A Promise 7") but every record in this picture is worth your time.
If you have to start somewhere, you cannot go wrong with the Wanna Smash Sensation LP. Wall to wall hits. Please listen to this band, you're missing out on something special. This would be a reunion tour I could get behind.

Hi Tim.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Rob Nesbitt and I am one of the songwriter's for BUM.
I'm amazed by your collection--A Promise Is A Promise verges on Misfits territory for rareness!--and am flattered you'd take the time to collect them and say such nice things.
I see one record that is missing right away and that is a late release--also on Magic Teeth records--for an unreleased song called 50/50.
The cover art is also by Pat McEowan who did Promise, Smash, Go Crazy etc...
The "Debbiespeak" you have is the second cover version. The original had a red arrow with orange/yellow logo in it.
There are vinyl variations as well--but that's nit picky.
For instance the rarer version of "At The Well" is black vinyl, I think.
I can try and get you a copy of the 50/50 record if you'd like. **no charge of course--you've done enough!**

As a side not I am currently working on a solo record that, if you are a fan of BUM, I think you will really like. It's been 16 years in the making!!
Ridiculous.
Thanks again for being a fan.
Rob
