Guava Rockets – We’re Just the Bomb (Official Video)

Like the eclectic match-up of Guava Rockets’ personnel themselves, the debut single “We’re
Just the Bomb” weaves diverse influences and sounds into a rousing indie-electro-pop anthem that’s simultaneously energizing and ethereal, and resolutely uplifting throughout. Musically, the song is compelling and infectious, from the juxtaposition of its burbling synth lines and dreamy vocals, to its stompingly infectious beat, to the throwback Hooky-like “lead bass” part that struts through the outro. But its lyrics also carry an inspiring message: in the face of that tired old condescension of one generation to the next, “We’re Just the Bomb” stands as a defiant declaration for the inheritors of this battered world. Thematically, it’s an empowerment anthem, wrought through with hope and optimism for the generation that might just be humanity’s saviours—with a frank bomb-drop of its own to conclude the delivery. Most of all, though, it’s just a fun ride through a contagious new single that’s hard to resist spinning on repeat, and as the first verse concludes… “you will thank us before long.”
