Bubblegum Screw is a London glam punk band heavily influenced by New York 1977 punk and other American bands such as New York Dolls, The Dead Boys and The Stooges. Along with bands such as Backyard Babies and Buckcherry, they have been called the new blood of Glam Punk.[1] They were also mentioned in the introduction to Brett Callwood's biography of The Stooges.
Characteristics
Formed in 2006 by Mark Thorn, the former vocalist for Dead Famous, and Zuri Warsaw on bass guitar, the band quickly recruited Dead Famous' old drummer Mike Fury and Rich van Kerr on guitar.
After an initial period with Thorn combining both singing and guitar duties and the recording of the EP 'St Valentine's Day Massacre' in 2007, Jonni Scarlett was recruited to play lead guitar. He was replaced before an Eastern European tour, which included concerts in Zagreb, Belgrade,[2] Sofia and Plovdiv,[3] by Tommy Vommit, the name being given to him by Rich van Kerr after a heavy night of drinking.
In 2008 the song 'Rock 'n' Roll Loser' was featured on the cover CD "Sons of Guns III" for Classic Rock Magazine. During the same period, original drummer Mike Fury left the band and was replaced by Dave666 of B-Movie Vampires fame. They have also featured on compilation CDs of the UK fanzine Bubblegum Slut and in 2009 supported L.A. Guns and Warrior Soul on their London dates.
Their debut album 'Screwphoria!' was released in 2011.
