Rad Girlfriend Records releases a split between Tsunami Bombs and Hammerbombs, titled Bombs Away!, on December 26. 

"This split 7" brings together East Bay veterans Tsunami Bomb and Oakland’s The Hammerbombs," says Josh Goldman of Rad Girlfriend Records. "Side A features Tsunami Bomb delivering the tight, hook-driven sound that helped cement their place in the East Bay punk scene. Their tracks highlight the melodic edge and direct songwriting that made them a key part of California’s punk rock explosion in the '90s and the broader wave of Bay Area punk.

"Side B shifts to The Hammerbombs, representing Oakland’s strong DIY spirit," Goldman adds. "Their contribution is straightforward, energetic, and rooted in the self-made approach that defines the band. Their tracks capture the raw, honest style that has made The Hammerbombs a reliable force in the local underground. This split EP pairs two bands connected by geography, community, and a shared commitment to accessible, grassroots punk. it stands as a concise document of East Bay tradition meeting Oakland DIY momentum."
