Bomb the Music Industry! (usually abbreviated BTMI!) is a musical collective originally from Baldwin, Nassau County, New York. They are known for their DIY punk ethic, offering free stencils and paint for fans to create their own T-shirts. They also offer their fans a chance to play on stage if they learn a song and bring their instruments to the show. Bomb the Music Industry! plays a blend of several musical styles anchored to ska and punk. They're often compared to bands such as the Blue Meanies, Fishbone or Big D and the Kids Table, that blended a range of influences and experimental effects onto the ska framework common in each band's respective eras. Bomb the Music Industry! also share similarities with popular ska/punk and punk bands such as Catch-22 and Slapstick. The influences go deeper than ska and punk, however, as studio experimentation, synth pop, and DC hardcore pop up in the mix.
