In the heart of Los Angeles, where garage punk and '90s grunge rebellion collide, Madam Bombs is rewriting the rules of modern rock. This dynamic trio—Claire FitzGerald (guitar/vocals), Jaden Cordova (bass/vocals), and Samara Ellis (drums/backing vocals) —brings a raw, fearless energy to the scene, creating music that defies convention and celebrates individuality.
Part of LA’s new indie and punk DIY scene, Madam Bombs have played 150+ shows in the LA area and beyond, including Permanent Records, Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, Redwood Bar and Grill, the Whisky-a-Go-Go, the Mayan Theater, Harvelle’s, Corbin Bowl, Garden Amphitheater's main stage & Locker Room, DiPiazza's in Long Beach, the Knitting Factory NoHo, 924 Gilman in Berkeley, a few double-header weekends in San Diego & SLO, Drom (NYC) and The Bitter End (NYC). Their shows are known for a fierce energy that starts the mosh pit and keeps it going.
In 2022, their song “Get Me Out” landed on KCRW's "30 Favorite Songs of 2022." Madam Bombs were hand-picked by LA punk legend Shawn Stern of Youth Brigade to play at the Punk Rock Bowling festival in Las Vegas for both 2023 & 2024 and some of their handmade merch is on display at the Punk Rock Museum.
Madam Bombs’ discography can’t be pigeonholed into one genre, they like to say that their music falls under the expansive umbrella of rock! Their songs range in general, from straight up punk & pop-rock to more alternative, grunge and indie flavors. The overall theme of Madam Bomb’s music is to be bold, energetic, and unapologetically yourself. Each member of the band brings a unique style and a diverse set of influences to the songwriting process, collectively feeding off each other for inspiration. Madam Bombs’ music continues to reflect their defiance of societal norms, with lyrics that tackle rebellion, individuality, and the messy complexities of being human. Their goal is simple but powerful: to create music that empowers and inspires listeners to embrace their true selves.
As they step boldly into the future, Madam Bombs is ready to amplify their voice and expand their reach. Whether through relentless touring, new collaborations, or breaking into unexpected creative territories, the band is committed to staying true to their vision while taking rock to new heights.
